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!

- 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
- 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?

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.
