When to Use a Wraparound Mortgage

You should consider using a wraparound mortgage whenever you have the following conditions in your real estate wealth building:

• The property you want to buy is priced a bit beyond your means but it has enough income to pay all its loans and still have a PCF.
• The property you want to buy has an existing first mortgage that you can assume and which will be comfortably paid by the monthly PCF.
• The property you want to buy is in reasonably good condition and will not need extensive maintenance when you take it over.
• The property you want to buy will give you a bigger jump in your real estate holdings using a wrap than you could get with conventional financing.

Where to Use a Wraparound Mortgage

Consider using a wraparound mortgage when you have any of the following conditions in your real estate wealth building:

• Your credit score is not the highest, but you're working on increasing it and getting into the 700+ FICO range.
• You've been turned down by banks when you applied for conventional mortgage financing.
• You want to take a "giant step forward and get a really big property quickly.
• You do not want to "buy on contract because this really doesn't give you the ownership you want.

How to Use a Wraparound Mortgage

The previous example shows you the essence of wraparound mortgages. Don't let the name frighten you! I'm here to help you get, and use, a wrap for your deal, whenever you need me. I like to have you be a subscriber to one of my newsletters because it gives you my thinking every month of the year. That puts us on the same wavelength. To use a wraparound mortgage:

• Go to lenders who like wraps. A bank that has lots of postauction foreclosure properties will usually be happy to work with you to do a zero-down wrap loan to get properties off its books. And, good friend of mine, most banks do at some time during the year wind up with too many postauction properties in their inventory!
• The Veterans'Administration may use wrap loans to sell properties in foreclosure. The existing mortgage remains as is, without the "due-on-sale clause coming into play. So look for VA properties locally. You may be able to acquire them quickly, often with zero cash down.
• If there is ever the so-called "bubble burst in real estate, you will be able to acquire excellent properties using a wraparound mortgage. So the bubble burst will really benefit you, not penalize you!
• Use a wrap loan every time there's an existing first mortgage you can assume or use with a "subject to agreement prepared by your attorney, while getting a PCF from the property. Never buy with a Negative Cash Flow!

Your Key Ideas for Using Wraparound Mortgages

• Wraparound mortgages can help get you properties that could not be financed using conventional mortgages.
• Wraparound mortgages are junior loans (second mortgage) but they are generally looked on more favorably than seconds.
• Wraparound mortgages may be obtainable with a lower credit score than conventional mortgages.
• Wraparound mortgages are liked by lenders because the overall interest income can be higher.
• Wraparound mortgages are popular with banks having excess postauction foreclosure inventories and with some federal agencies.
