Questions, answered plainly

Often, yes. With a Subject-To purchase the loan stays in place and we take over the payments. Whether it fits depends on the loan, the house and your situation, so we review the details first.

No. We buy houses as-is. You do not need to repair, clean out, stage or show the house. More on selling as-is.

No. We buy directly, so there are no agent commissions and no fees charged to the seller.

Every offer is based on the specific property and situation. We do not quote a number before we have reviewed the house and the loan, and when we make an offer we show how we got there.

We close on your timeline where the situation allows. We do not promise a number of days, because it depends on the house, the loan and any estate or court steps.

Talk to someone early. We may be able to take over the payments through a Subject-To purchase, but we cannot stop a foreclosure by ourselves. A HUD-approved housing counselor can also help at no charge. Read more.

Often, yes. We work with the executor or administrator, the family and the estate attorney, and we follow the steps your state and the court require. See probate and inherited houses.

Often, yes. A lawful tenancy generally stays with the property, and we follow local and state tenant protections. More for landlords.

We buy the house subject to the existing mortgage. The loan stays in place and we take over making the payments. The full explanation is here.

Most mortgages contain a clause that lets the lender call the whole loan due when the house changes hands. We cannot promise how a lender will act. We explain this risk before you sign, and we suggest you ask your own attorney.

No. Marcus Property Group never uses wraparound mortgages.

It may not fit if you need a large lump sum at closing that the terms cannot provide, if you cannot accept any risk from a due-on-sale clause, or if you have time and money to repair the house and want the widest open-market sale.

A master lease is one lease for a whole house. The housing partner leases the entire house from Marcus Property Group, places the residents and runs the program. Marcus Property Group stays the landlord.

No. We are the landlord, not the operator and not a licensed care provider. Our housing partners place residents and run the program.

Turnkey houses with four or more bedrooms, two or more baths and 2,000 or more square feet, near public transit.

Vetted nonprofit and community operators running sober living and recovery housing, housing for transition-age foster youth, programs for survivors and single moms, veterans housing, and senior and assisted living.

The housing partner. Rules differ by state and city, and the operator confirms what its program must hold before a lease is signed.

None of those. We are a family-run real estate investment company based in Los Angeles. We are not a brokerage, lender or licensed care provider.
