I remember thinking the same thing, and when I found out about it through a magazine advert, I thought it was a scam. It is no such thing, so browse through the postings, there is a lot of info available. If your in the market to make some money with very little down… and you have time to kill… Welcome to the club!
Wraping question, why would the purchaser of your property pay a higher rate than that offered in the loan market.
i.e in the example given you’re paying interest rate of 7% but provide vendor finance at 9% p.a. Why wouldn’t purchaser seek market finance.
Isn’t the whole premiss of Wraping to ofset your repayments with your vendor finance given. This may not be attractive to the potential purchaser. Could someone please comment if my understanding of concept is wrong?
You have a valid question. In fact we even advise all of our clients that they would be better off getting a conventional bank loan if they can (due to additional interest), and we would actually prefer they did, as it is in thier best interest – but You have to remember that a wrap (vendor terms contract) is just one form of property investing to solve a particuliar problem in a particuliar segment of the home buying market. Therefore our customers are people who want to own thier own home who banks won’t touch. For example:
– Those without a deposit
– Without a savings record
– Bad credit record
– Bankruptcy
– Low income
– Self employed persons
– etc.
We still use risk minimisation like the banks (credit checks etc), but we don’t have to worry about keeping the share holders happy . There is a large market out there looking for this type of a solution to thier problems!
