In this brief monologue, Christian Osgood argues that the "subject to" real estate strategy is inferior because it circumvents the bank, adds unnecessary steps, and introduces extra risk, violating a core real‑estate principle of minimizing steps. He asserts that there are ample alternative deals that don’t require subject‑to arrangements. Osgood further explains that his overall approach focuses on partnering with seasoned experts—"masters of the game"—studying how they achieved success, replicating their proven tactics, and collaborating with players who have already mastered the industry, rather than relying on the subject‑to method.

Subject to is subpar. It's a strategy that involves circumventing the bank, and it breaks one of our first principles of real estate, which is we don't add steps. And subject to adds both risk and steps that we don't need to move forward. There are more than enough deals to do without subject to where you don't have to do it. Another reason that we don't look at subject to is because our whole strategy relies on working with masters of the game, learning how they got to where they're at, replicating their strategies and using it to advance forward with players who've already mastered the game.
