Usually with this, the buyer will pay the seller over a period of time in installments. At that time, the deed is handed to the buyer. There are times when it is more favorable to use a wrap around mortgage.

In this instance, a wrap around mortgage will let you complete your deal, since you cannot use the traditional financing method.
