A wraparound mortgage is a seller financing arrangement where the seller (still responsible for the underlying first mortgage) takes back a new, larger mortgage from the buyer that encompasses (wraps around) the balance of the existing first mortgage. The buyer makes one payment to the seller, who then continues paying the existing lender.
