Well, they don't mention if that discount is relative to what the house is currently worth or what is owed on the mortgage. Who knows?

If you don't know that much, you need to get into some research for awhile before you play with anything. It's fairly obvious that in that scenario what is owed on the note is COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT and the current value is the determining factor when making your decision to be involved in a deal.

And if some expert comes on and tells you that so long as you get X% off of the note, it's a deal, tell them to go fuck some nails.
