What could go wrong?
Seller puts house up for sale, Buyer can't afford it and seller offers to finance.

That is correct. That is why the wrap craze that happened in the 1980s was limited to VA loans, as VA loans are assumable, while FHA is not.
One caveat I see is that most mortgages make payment due on sale

Ah, but you must think like "Monthly Payment Man." It ain't that MPM cannot afford the $300,000 house, it is that he cannot afford the payments at 7%. Same price home at 4% fits his monthly nut capability.

Seems like a raw deal for the seller.
I think they’d only do it out of desperation and no real qualified buyers available.

The seller benefits by getting full price for the house.

Do they? One of my cousins “bought” a house with owner financing. She walked away two years later.

Good point. The wraps I knew about were when a low interest VA loan was wrapped with a current high interest VA loan. The seller did not do any financing.

I have receive payments for wraps from an investment I made with a friend. A fair amount of homes are owner finance. Generally as long as they make payments, I'm happy. I haven't done a wrap mortgage per se, but I am looking at doing one for a house I own in Robinson, TX.
In general with a wrap mortgage what you said is correct with pocketing the difference on payments, but you can also ask for a wade of cash upfront.

Seller puts house up for sale, Buyer can't afford it and seller offers to finance. Say the first mortgage rate is 3% and current rates are 6% today - the house is "sold"
to the buy for whatever with say a 4% finance charge. Seller continues to pay the first mortgage, usually with funds from the buyer, and pockets a gain as well.
One caveat I see is that most mortgages make payment due on sale - so not sure how these get around that fact. Maybe they just hope company doesn't notice - and I guess why would they if the payments keep coming. I think when title transfers can depend on the agreement...
Anyway, new to this. So anyone have some experience? I have some cash sitting around and some friends have thought about starting a side company to specialize in these types of opportunities. But seems a bit risky to me...
Just curious....
