Joe starts to think and remembers a "We Buy Houses" sign down the street from their home and runs down and calls the number on his cell phone. After talking with the investor, Joe finds out that the investor isn't will to pay more than $120,000 for the house. Hearing that, Joe is mad and upset that such a person can come in with such a low and insulting offer. Besides Joe couldn't do that deal anyway because the second mortgage they took out last year, places their debt just about what the house is worth.

Getting worried and running out of time, Joe places an ad in the local newspaper advertising the house as a "For Sale By Owner".

Mostly everyone is trying to low ball him except for one guy who said "he will offer the asking price, so long as he can see the place first". Feeling excited and curious at the same time, Joe invites the man over.

A couple of hours later, Brad comes over and tells Joe that he is the one who called about the house. Brad tells Joe to explain to him a little about the house and his situation.

Joe spills his guts and describes his dilemma to Brad. After Joe finishes his story about his situation, Brad tells Joe that he thinks he can still offer the asking price and if Joe was still interested in selling?

But before they start agreeing any further, Brad says, that as an investor, that his primary motivation to make a profit on the house. Joe and Debbie understand that, so long as their asking price is met and the house is sold quickly.

Brad continues and tells both Joe and Debbie that because of his need to make a profit, he needs to offer an agreement which will satisfy both their needs. Brad continues and says "That offer is what's called a Subject To" offer. Of course bewildered and confused, Debbie and Joe ask what kind of program is that. Brad simply states, that it's a program that suspends both their money for the house and his profit on the house for 2 years, while Brad takes over the payments. Not fully understanding, Joe continues to listen to Brad's offer.
