A seller wants $120,000 for a home and still owes $20,000 of the original loan...

A wraparound mortgage is a type of seller financing in which the new loan “wraps around” an existing loan. The buyer makes one combined payment to the seller, who continues paying the original loan while retaining the difference.

In this case:

The seller owes $20,000 at 7%.

The buyer wants to borrow $60,000 total ($20,000 existing + $40,000 new).

The new loan is structured at 10% interest, covering both debts.

This is exactly how a wraparound mortgage works: the seller finances the buyer’s loan, keeps the existing mortgage in place, and earns the difference between the interest rates.

The other options:

Blanket mortgage (A): covers multiple parcels.

Equity loan (B): based on homeowner equity.

Buydown (D): involves prepaying interest to reduce borrower’s rate.

Correct answer: C: wraparound.
