PIGGYBACK LOANS Are AN AFFORDABLE FINANCING OPTION FOR HOME BUYERS WHO PREFER NOT TO PAY PMI.
Combination Finance, also known as a "Piggy-Back Loan," is where you are essentially loaned a portion of your down payment to avoid PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) or to maintain a certain 1st mortgage loan amount or payment.
WHAT IS A PIGGYBACK LOAN?
A Piggyback Loan is a type of mortgage loan that a homebuyer would take out in addition to their main mortgage loan. Instead of financing a home purchase with just one mortgage loan, you're doing so with two. The Piggyback Loan is considered the second loan and is usually of a smaller amount than your main mortgage loan. The purpose of a Piggyback Loan is to provide the funds towards your home's down payment amount so that you will not have to pay PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance).
WHAT ARE THE FEATURES OF A PIGGYBACK LOAN?
- Purchase at a JUMBO price point with a smaller down payment. A conforming loan offers more options and competitive rates than a jumbo loan. A combo loan can help finance nearly all of the purchase price while staying within the maximum conforming loan limit of $766,550.00. For example, close with a 1st mortgage for $766,550.00, a smaller 2nd mortgage plus a small down payment for the balance.
- No mortgage insurance. Mortgage insurance that is paid as part of a home loan is no longer tax-deductible and can force unwanted up-front or monthly costs. You may use a Purchase Money 2nd to avoid monthly mortgage insurance with only a small down payment.
- Tax deductions. With a second mortgage, you may be able to obtain a greater tax deduction for mortgage interest than with mortgage insurance. You should consult your tax adviser.
- Waive the escrow account. Manage annual property taxes and homeowner's insurance to be paid directly from the homeowner as opposed to paying monthly with the mortgage payment.
- No prepayment penalty. Pay down the balance on the 2nd mortgage without penalty.
