Convertible wraparound mortgage offers new hope for home builders
Barron Financial Service in California engineers a convertible wraparound mortgage to shield builders from volatile interest rates. The plan splits a loan into a below-market all inclusive trust deed for the buyer and a market rate first mortgage to the builder, preserving deferred profit until rates fall. The buyer sees a fixed 30 year mortgage while the builder safeguards profit and cash flow during high rate periods.
