Wondering whether you can sell a wraparound mortgage note? The short answer is yes — but a wrap adds a layer of complexity that most seller financed notes don't have, and it's worth understanding before you talk to a note buyer.
What Makes a Wrap Different
A standard seller financed note involves one loan: you sold the property, the buyer pays you directly, and there's no other mortgage in the picture. A wraparound mortgage (or "wrap") is different. It exists on top of an existing underlying mortgage that's still in place.
Here's how it typically works: you still owe money on your original mortgage. Instead of paying that off at the sale, you "wrap" a new, larger loan around it. Your buyer pays you a new note covering the full purchase price, and you continue making payments on your original underlying mortgage out of what you collect. You're essentially standing in the middle, collecting a bigger payment, paying a smaller one, and keeping the spread.
Why This Matters to a Note Buyer
A wrap isn't just a bigger version of a regular note. It carries risks a standard note doesn't, and any note buyer evaluating your note has to price those in.
- Due-on-sale risk. Most underlying mortgages contain a due-on-sale clause, giving the original lender the right to call the full loan due if the property is sold or transferred without their approval. A wrap technically transfers an interest in the property, which can trigger this clause. Note buyers will want to know how this was handled at closing and whether the underlying lender was aware.
- Two-loan dependency. Your buyer's payment to you and your payment to the underlying lender are two separate obligations. If either link in that chain breaks, both loans are affected. A note buyer purchasing your note is effectively buying into that dependency, not just a single, self-contained loan.
- Underlying loan terms matter as much as your note's terms. The interest rate, remaining balance, and payment schedule on the underlying mortgage directly affect what your wrap note is actually worth. A note buyer needs to see both sets of terms clearly, not just yours.

What a Note Buyer Will Want to See
Selling a wrap generally requires the same core documents as any note sale — the promissory note, payment history, and property information — plus documentation specific to the wrap structure itself: the underlying mortgage or deed of trust, the underlying lender's current payoff statement, and clear records showing how payments have flowed between the two loans. Our full document checklist covers what to gather before you start.
How Moxxie Buys Wraparound Notes
We buy wraparound notes on one condition: our purchase must move us into first lien position by paying off the underlying mortgage in full. This isn't a preference — it's a requirement. A wrap only works for us if the payoff is fully covered.
That condition also applies to a partial note purchase. Even if you're only selling a portion of your remaining payment stream, the underlying lien still has to be paid off completely as part of that transaction.
In practice, this means the math has to work: our offer needs to be large enough to satisfy the underlying loan's current payoff amount. If it isn't, we can't move forward with the purchase, full or partial. This is exactly why the underlying mortgage's balance and terms matter as much as your own note's terms when you're exploring a sale.
The most important step, same as with any note, is getting a real, professional evaluation before you need to sell, not after. Understanding how the underlying loan affects the numbers helps you know what you're working with before you're under pressure to decide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sell a wraparound mortgage note? +
Yes. A wraparound mortgage note can be sold, but a wrap carries complexity that a standard seller financed note does not. Because a wrap sits on top of an existing underlying mortgage that is still in place, a note buyer has to evaluate both loans — your note and the underlying lien — before pricing the purchase. Moxxie Asset Group buys wraparound notes on the condition that our purchase moves us into first lien position by paying off the underlying mortgage in full.
How does a due-on-sale clause affect selling a wraparound note? +
Most underlying mortgages contain a due-on-sale clause, which gives the original lender the right to call the full loan due if the property is sold or transferred without their approval. Because a wraparound arrangement transfers an interest in the property, it can trigger that clause. Any note buyer evaluating your wrap will want to understand how this was handled at the original closing and whether the underlying lender was aware of the arrangement.
Can I do a partial note purchase on a wraparound note? +
Yes, but the same condition applies. Even if you are only selling a portion of your remaining payment stream, the underlying lien still has to be paid off completely as part of that transaction. In practice this means our offer needs to be large enough to satisfy the underlying loan's current payoff amount. If it is not, we cannot move forward with the purchase — full or partial. This is why the underlying mortgage's balance and terms matter as much as your own note's terms.
