Using a first and second mortgage in lieu <strong>of</strong> one<br />
larger loan may not make sense until you do the<br />
numbers. Surely, a second mortgage loan as described<br />
here will carry a higher interest rate because<br />
<strong>of</strong> the lender’s increased risk <strong>of</strong> being in<br />
second position. Make sure the “blended” interest<br />
rate between the first and second mortgages does<br />
not exceed what you otherwise would be paying<br />
with a larger, single first mortgage loan. Also, keep<br />
in mind that a larger first mortgage loan may also<br />
mean you are paying private mortgage insurance,<br />
so that must be factored into the monthly payment.<br />
How to Calculate a Blended Interest Rate<br />
Multiply each interest rate times the amount it<br />
relates to the total debt, then add them together.<br />
For example, if you have an $80,000 first mortgage<br />
loan at 8%, and a $20,000 second mortgage<br />
loan at 10%, the blended rate is (8% × .8) + (10%<br />
× .2) = 8.4%.<br />
can’t otherwise prove income, there are nonincome verification (NIV)<br />
loans.<br />
NIV loans (also known as “stated income” loans) require less documentation<br />
than traditional loans. Lenders <strong>of</strong>ten advertise these programs<br />
as “no doc” loans, meaning the borrower does not have to come<br />
up with any documentation other than a credit report and a loan<br />
application.
