Wrap-Around Mortgage
For veteran real estate professionals the terms wrap-around mortgage, lease purchase and contract for deed are well known alternative finance options. Financing alternatives such as these became common place twenty and thirty years ago during the last down real estate markets when many people were trying to scramble to sell their real property or face foreclosure.
What is a Wrap-Around Mortgage?
A wrap-around mortgage, also known as a “wrap”, is a form of alternative home financing for the purchase of real property. This type of transaction usually takes place between an investor or seller and a buyer. The wrap-around mortgage literally “wraps” around and exists in addition to any mortgages already secured by the property.
