Brian Burkhalter Wraps were done a lot years ago when there were mortages that were assumable. A Wrap without lender permission today would probably trigger the due on sale clause.

Wow! That was a long long time ago, when horses roamed the prairie and the antelope played.

Today, a wraparound is only possible ONLY when private financing is involved. The benefit is one can acquire real estate and create a profit on resale, or leverage some form of equity associated with that property.

Public lenders who grant mortgages to occupant buyers always include a 'Due on Sale' clause. That means the mortgage must be paid in full before property can be retitled. Those who are 'feeling lucky today' believe there are ways to circumvent the clause....such ideas often lead to the unaware paying a very high price.

Since the Bank of America caused collapse, I have not been involved in a wraparound.

A "wrap" or All Inclusive Deed of Trust (AITD) was used primarily by investors when we had the Wellenkamp decision which allowed taking a mortgage "Subject to" or just assuming the note. It was NOT a formal assumption so it made it a lot easier. It worked in a high interest rate market very well. With rates in the 12-15% range! You could make money on the "spread". Say the underlying note was at 7% (fabulous in those days!) with a balance of $100,000.  You "wrapped" it at  12% (usually under prevailing rates at the time) so your payment was based on the new note of 12%. So you made in reality 5% on the wrapped amount but 12% on the balance. It let folks into homes because of the super high rates and investor's got it, liked it and used it!

  In light of today's super tight lending practices be careful. FHA is the last of the "subject to" loans. Wrapping private money is another matter. Just be careful as you have to make sure the underlying or "wrapped" mortgage is being paid!

Yes but these are more typical of buyers who lack the financial ability to buy since our interest rates are currently still low... as they rise its likely these may be happening more often

Years ago we used this as a way to sell homes because interest rates were so high. It saved the buyer money over the current interest rates and helped the seller sell a home. The due on sale clauses in today's mortgages prohibit this and with low interest rates it isn't practical to even consider.
