I just slogged through a MA webinar yesterday thinking I was getting in on the cutting edge of something new. Yawn.
As far as I could tell, they just renamed "Subject To" as "MA." "MA's" are glorified Sub2 deals (not that glorified).
Unless I missed something drastic, this is not "mortgage assignment" as it might sound on the surface. It's a "Deed Assignment" subject to the existing loans.
I'm happy to be corrected, cuz that means I listened to a cruddy "MA" webinar last night.

Otherwise, if the deed isn't transferred, but the payments are, it's called an "Option."
