Owner Financing and Wraps 101

Wraps are non-qualifying seller financing transactions.  Under a Wrap, an existing seller loan or loans are not assumed by the buyer, but a seller financed loan is stacked on  the Prior Note or Notes.  The seller remains fully obligated for payments under the  Prior Notes and no relationship is established between buyer and  seller lenders . Buyer obligations are limited only to the terms of the Wrap note payable to Seller.

Owner Financing is when part or all of the purchase price, less the buyer’s down payment is carried by the seller.  If the property is free and clear, meaning the seller has clear title without any loans, the seller might agree to carry all the financing.  The buyer and seller agree upon an interest rate, monthly payment amount and term of the loan.  The buyer pays the seller for the seller’s equity on an installment basis.
