$90,000
loan
7%
$180,000 wraparound loan at 9%.
$90,000 seller's equity
9%
In the above case the seller receives 9% on his or
her equity plus 2% differential on the 7% being paid on the existing
loan. This gives seller 11% on his or her equity. In addition,
because the seller continues to make the payment on the $90,000
loan, the seller knows that the payments are being made. If the
seller had allowed the buyer to assume the existing loan, then the
buyer, not the seller, would have taken advantage of the low
financing.
To use the wraparound loan, loan must not have a
due-on-sale clause. A due on sale clause accelerates loan payments
making the entire loan amount due upon a sale. These clauses are
enforceable be lender.
