Features of the loan:
- Purchase at a JUMBO price point with a smaller down payment. A conforming loan offers more options and competitive rates when compared to a fixed-rate jumbo loan. A combo loan can help finance nearly all of the purchase price while staying within the maximum conforming loan limit of $726,200.00. 1st mortgage for $726,200.00 of the sales price; 2nd mortgage plus 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. Learn other ways 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.
