Ty McAllister Seller-finance (are they wraparound mortgages?)

Some precautions to consider:- Make sure the person who is the borrower of the underlying bank mortgage fully understands the implications  of a wrap, as well as the buyer- Consider a 5 or 10yr balloon note (vs. 30yr fixed) if you are worried that the seller may have 2nd thoughts down the road- Buyers should need to bring a significant down payment to the deal so that they have skin in the game- If your state allows a Deed of Trust for the wrap note, I suggest using that document (vs. a Mortgage) as it will put a lien on the house allow the Seller to pursue a non-judicial foreclosure if the buyer does not perform.- The home insurance after the sale (the new owner is the "insured") should retain the name of the previous owner(payor of the bank note) on the insurance as "additional insured" so as to not set off any alarms with the bank.- Use a 3rd party loan servicing company to collect all mortgage and escrow payments and make all appropriate payments to the bank lender as well as seller finance lender.
