A con to doing a mortgage wrap as the seller

A con to doing a mortgage wrap as the seller

In this case I am the seller. I sold a property with my mortgage still in place. I guess this is one of the problems with doing a wrap because my lender will not accept the new buyers insurance policy even though my lender is stated as being in the first position on the insurance policy. They insist that I must obtain my own policy on the house even though I no longer own it. I thought I understood the pros and cons to doing a wrap but it looks like I failed to recognize the insurance problem. Live and learn I guess. Take note if you have thought about doing a wrap.

    What are they going to do if you don't get your own insurance policy?

    They have force placed a policy for me. Now I need to get my own policy that will be less expensive than the one they placed. Paying for a useless policy decreases my spread in the deal but there does not seem to be any other option.
