• Auto Lease, Lease Assumption, and the Car Lease Swap
  
  A lease assumption happens when you allow someone else to take over your lease in order to get out of your contract without incurring penalties. For instance, you've been driving your leased car for awhile now and want to exchange it for something different. Or perhaps you've found a car you'd really like to buy, but you can't afford both car payments and lease payments. The problem is you've still got 12 months left to go on your lease. If you end it now, it's going to cost you. Cue your brother, who thinks your car is quite nice and wouldn't mind driving it himself. Since his credit is good enough, your brother can assume your lease, releasing you from your contractual obligations while avoiding any penalties. Now, you're able to buy the car of your dreams-well, today's dream anyway.
• How to Take Over Payments (Assume a Loan)
  
  Buyers sometimes find themselves in a financial jam after making purchases for items such as cars, trucks, motorcycles, or even furniture or other items they have bought on time. When they find they can no longer make the monthly payments they must find an alternative. If they wait until the item is repossessed they will have hurt their credit rating and have difficulty purchasing on time in the future. Finding someone who will assume the loan and take over payments will be beneficial to both parties. The seller will get out from under the obligation and the new buyer will save money.
• Real Estate Investing and "Subject To" Financing to Take Over Payments of an Existing Mortgage Loan
  
  With record numbers of foreclosures, and many more homeowners getting into mortgage trouble every day, lenders are in deep trouble with foreclosed home inventories and non-performing loans. This is changing the risk-reward situation for "subject to" financing. What does buying "subject to" a loan mean?

• The Benefits of Auto Lease Assumptions - Take Over An Existing Lease
  
  If you are considering an auto lease, you may be able to get a better deal and more benefits if you take over a prior lease from an individual, instead of leasing a vehicle directly through a dealer. Because auto leases are for a relatively short period of time, it can be difficult to exit a lease early and return the vehicle. Many dealers will apply early termination fees, or insist on all of the remaining lease payments. Auto lease assumptions allow you to take over the rest of the lease term from the individual, including the monthly payments, so the lease contract is fulfilled and the person is not hit with additional fees.
• "Subject-To" Deals
  
  The economy has been subject to change over the past couple of years. Banks and other private lenders are not as easily accessible as they once were. It is much more difficult to qualify for and/or receive a loan today than it has been in the past. Because of this, investors have turned to more creative ways of financing their investments.
