Subject to is when you buy it subject to existing mortgage - a wrap is the second half a subject to where you then turn around and sell it to someone else and put a second mortgage on the property where the new borrower is paying you as well
Thanks so much for the information one last question is there a Appraisal done when doing a wraparound mortgage and if so does the buyer pay for it
************************** An Appraisal is not required in a wrap, since there is no traditional Lender involved. But, it may be desired. In a wrap, the Homeowner/Seller is the Lender and they may want an Appraisal for their own satisfaction, but it is not necessary.
And for the Buyer/Investor, no Appraisal is necessary. And, the investor should be experienced enough to know the value to them, regardless of an appraisal.
