for example:Property Value: $100kSeller Mortgage: $100Kyou obtain the property on a subject2, you then turn around and sell with a wrap with the following:Sale Price: $110K (premium due to owner financing)Down Payment: $20KYou then carry a note for $90K that the buyer must pay offYou then apply $10k of the down payment to the wrapped lender, bringing the wrapped mortgage balance down to $90K, the same amount as the note you are carrying.In addtion to all that, the terms on the new note are created to give you a spread between the wrapped PITI & the buyers PITI (assuming that taxes & insurance are escrowed in).So, after the closing you have created (and extracted) $10K (minus any closing costs) in equity from the deal, and you also are now receiving monthly cash flow via your note and you have no property upkeep.DISCLAIMER: I have never done one of these, this is all academic.
