💣 The Wrap That Pays: How One Investor Turned a “No-Equity” Phoenix Property Into a $15K Down Payment (and Monthly Spread)

Issue #23: The Underground Guide To Finding Deals Without Deep Pockets

🎯 INTRO:

Let’s get something straight:
If you’re still walking away from deals because “there’s no equity”…

You’re missing out on paydays that would make your bank account do the salsa.

Today’s deal is a beauty:
A house worth $320K.
A mortgage balance of $315K.
And somehow…
An investor walked away with $15,000 down and over $300/month cash flow—without using their own credit or cash.

How?
The secret weapon: the Wraparound Mortgage.

Let’s unwrap the details. Because this one’s worth studying twice.

🔍 CURATED REAL ESTATE INSIGHTS:

  • Rising interest rates in 2025 are locking homeowners into low-interest loans, making existing financing a goldmine for creative dealmakers.

  • Wraparound mortgages allow you to “wrap” a seller’s loan with new terms, creating spreads in interest rate, payment, and purchase price.

  • These structures are legal, ethical, and bank-resistant—if you do them right.

đź’ˇ Takeaway: When equity is thin, don’t chase price—chase terms. The money is in the spread.

đź’Ľ MAIN CONTENT: The Deal Breakdown

🏠 The Setup:

The seller in Phoenix was stuck:

  • Owed $315,000 on a 30-year fixed at 3.25%.

  • Monthly PITI: $1,560

  • House worth: ~$320,000

  • No cash to sell, no desire to rent, no equity to cash out.

She wanted out. Fast.

Most investors said:

“Sorry, not enough room.”

But this investor said:

“Let’s create the room…”

đź’¬ The Offer:

The investor proposed a Wraparound Mortgage:

  • He would buy the home for $335,000.

  • He’d take title, create a new wrap note for $335K at 6.75% interest.

  • He’d continue paying the underlying mortgage at 3.25%.

Then he’d resell the home to a buyer who couldn’t get a loan but had cash for a down payment.

🔢 The Deal Math:

Existing loan terms (the “underlying”):

  • Balance: $315,000

  • Interest: 3.25%

  • Monthly PITI: $1,560

Wraparound loan terms (to new buyer):

  • Sale Price: $335,000

  • Interest: 6.75%

  • Down Payment: $15,000

  • Loan Amount: $320,000

  • Monthly P&I: ~$2,074 (on a 30-year amortization)

Monthly Spread = $2,074 - $1,560 = $514/month cash flow.
Upfront payday = $15,000 down payment.

The investor used a land trust to hold title and a disclosure document (aka "wrap disclosure") signed by all parties.

đź’° The Payoff:

The seller walked away with her loan intact but no more responsibility.
The investor received:

  • $15,000 non-refundable down payment

  • Over $500/month passive cash flow

  • Full control of the property

  • No bank qualifying

  • No repair costs

  • And a backend payday if/when the buyer refinances

Not bad for a “dead deal” most wholesalers ignored.

đź§  Key Lesson:

A wraparound mortgage is leverage disguised as structure.

  • You don’t need to “buy cheap.”

  • You don’t need a hard money lender.

  • You don’t even need a lot of equity.

You just need a motivated seller, existing financing, and a buyer who’s close but not quite bankable.

The real juice is in the interest rate arbitrage and monthly spread—which can go on for years.

🚪 OUTRO:

If you’re still thinking “no equity = no deal,” it’s time to upgrade your toolbox.

Because in 2025, most sellers are holding low-interest golden tickets.
And creative investors—like you—can turn those tickets into paydays with paper.
