    Hi There,

    I am looking into wraps and having completed “The Wrap Kit” i’m respectful of the need to use “20% down”.

    In the event that you brought a property first (say 10% down), and created a 80/20 dept to equity through renovations, and then wrapped it, would lenders consider this the same as using 20% down, when looking at your capital structure for your next mortgage?

    Hi Tom

    I’m not really sure what you mean, but you cannot use a wrapped property as additional security. ie you cannot cross securitise a wrapped property. So you will need a 20% cash deposit for the next one. (Or you could use another unwrapped property as additional security).

    Thanks Terry,

    What Here is a working example of what I mean.

    I purchase a property at 80k (market rate) with a 10% deposit.
    I renovate the property so that it’s worth 100k. I now have 30% equity in the deal.
    At this point if I was to wrap the property, would lenders (for future mortgages) consider this the same as if I had used a 30% deposit in the first place, based on it’s new value?

    Hi Tom

    You cannot cross securistise a wrapped property, so your equity level would not really matter to lenders unless you were refinancing htis property. If you were refinancing, then they would give you a loan based on current value, $100,000 in your example.

    You CAN use a wrap property to get funds for a new purchase. That is a big problem with shonky wrappers. Also, I don’t know why you would cross-COLLATERALISE in any situation.
