ESQ Ventures

Also known as a Wraparound Mortgage. A junior lien on a property which encompasses the senior financing. Enables the borrower to increase the amount of borrowing without paying off the original loan or paying the higher interest rates associated with other types of secondary financing. The borrower makes one payment (usually to the seller) from which the senior financing is paid with the balance going to ward the holder of the Note. May be advantageous to the seller in that he can experience an additional return on money (the senior financing) which he never loaned.
