Subject-To Real Estate Deals in Phoenix, AZ โ€” How to Lock In Below-Market Rates

By Deal Pros LLC  ยท  Off-Market Deals  ยท  Phoenix Metro

Phoenix is one of the most active sub-to markets in the country. Thousands of homeowners bought between 2019 and 2022 when 30-year rates were sitting at 2.5โ€“3.5%. Today, with rates above 6.5%, those mortgages have become some of the most valuable assets in real estate โ€” and motivated sellers are willing to transfer them.

Why Phoenix Sub-To Deals Work

The Phoenix metro โ€” covering Scottsdale, Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale, and Peoria โ€” has one of the highest concentrations of 2020โ€“2022 vintage mortgages in the Western US. Sellers in financial hardship, divorce, relocation, or simply cashing out equity have legitimate reasons to accept a subject-to structure rather than going through a traditional MLS sale.

For investors, the math is compelling. A $250,000 mortgage at 3% costs $1,054/mo in principal and interest. The same balance at 6.75% costs $1,622/mo โ€” a difference of $568/mo, or $6,816/year, or over $200,000 over the life of the loan.

Phoenix Rental Market (2025)

Median rent for a 2bd/2ba in Phoenix: $1,450โ€“1,650/mo depending on submarket. Vacancy rates in most Phoenix zip codes remain below 5%. Strong migration from California, Illinois, and the Northeast continues to drive rental demand.
