No Money Down LoanNo money down loan products are typically done as an 80/20 and are also described as combination financing or piggyback loans and offer a convenient way to provide creative financing in a purchase, refinance, home improvement, or debt consolidation transaction. In a purchase transaction, a second trust is frequently used in combination with a first trust to avoid paying Private Mortgage Insurance or PMI. The first trust is always set at 80% of your purchase price which eliminates the need for PMI. We add a second trust of 20% of the purchase price or value. There are actually two versions of this program offered by several lenders. The first will require you to have 3% cash in the transaction (covering your closing costs) and the second requires no cash at all. I have had many clients close there transaction with no cash by having the seller pay all of their closing costs. Several programs will now allow combined loan amounts up to $500,000 and again, NO Mortgage Insurance! Please email me with any questions about a no money down loan. Several advantages to consumers using a no money down loan include:
However, there are some potential problems with the strategy.
Second Trust RatiosA second loan or second trust is a loan secured by your property which takes second position to the first mortgage. A second trust carries a fixed interest rate for the life of the loan and amortization periods range from 5 to 20 years with a great new product amortized over 30 years with a balloon due in 15 years. The longer amortization period lowers your monthly payment significantly. Generally, your total debt ratio should not exceed 45% of your monthly pretax income.Several of our lenders are now offering interest only options which can often lower your payment or allow you to purchase more house. I have a rather extensive section detailing these new Interest only loan options.
