Good evening BP,

Can someone help me clarify what is the difference between a Subject-To vs a Wrap around mortgage? 

I've definitely done my share of research but I am trying to see if everyone has the same definition of what the difference is. 

Also, can you provide an example of when to do a Subject-To vs a Wrap Around mortgage? 

Thanks In advance!

  2. yes still need title company to make sure title is conveyed completely clear. Title company handles escrow as well. Pretty much the same as any other closing really.
  3. when property is not free and clear it gets complicated. You can do a mortgage wrap where mortgage stays, you pay it, and you also pay seller a payment for his equity. This is where a payment processor might be needed. This type of deal can be risky because bank can call loan due since property changes title. Buying subject to is a similar arrangement 
  4. you would probably have the schedule to make it easier on seller.

 Allan,

I greatly appreciate your input. This definitely clarifies a lot for me.

Good morning BP members,

So I am really trying to nail all the details about how seller financing works.

What I am still fuzzy about is:

1. Does the seller work with a third-party mortgage loan company to establish the loan that I have with him/her?

2. Do I work with a title company at all during the process?

3. Does seller financing only work when the seller owns the property free and clear?

4. Am I responsible for creating a loan amortization schedule to know how much I owe as I continue to do payments?

Thanks in advance!

@Joe Horan

Joe, what software do you use to send this direct mail? Or do you hand write them all and drop them off at the post office?

Are you open to working with an accountant remotely?

I would prioritize finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation over one that is local.
There are 20+ accountants on this message board who specialize in real estate taxation. Feel free to reach out to a couple and use the one you connect with the most.

 Yes, I am definitely willing to work with someone remotely. I just need someone who is very familiar with real estate tax and knows ways I can save money now and not in the future.
