Baton Rouge FHA Home Appraisers: Can “Silent Seconds” Help FHA Borrowers With Tiny or Nothing Down?

“With downpayment assistance programs (DPAs) now banned from use with FHA mortgages the question arises as to whether there is any replacement for such help.

One idea which has been suggested is the use of a silent second. In basic terms, the borrower gets a loan for some or all of the down payment. There is no monthly cost for the loan, instead the loan is forgiven if the borrower stays in the property for seven years. Also, if half the second is paid back within 18 months the other half is forgiven.

FHA Baton Rouge HOPE Relief: HUD Launches HOPE For Baton Rouge Homeowners Mortgage Program

The HOPE for Homeowners program was authorized by the Economic and Housing Recovery Act of 2008. Since the President signed this vital legislation into law on July 30, 2008, the HOPE for Homeowners Board of Directors has worked diligently to develop and implement the program as directed by Congress. The Board was charged with establishing underwriting standards to ensure borrowers, after any write-down in principal, have a reasonable ability to repay their new FHA-insured mortgage.

The HOPE for Homeowners program begins today and ends September 30, 2011. The program is available only to owner occupants and will offer 30-year fixed rate mortgages - so the borrower’s last payment will be the same as the first payment. In many cases, to avoid what would be an even costlier foreclosure, banks will have to write down the existing mortgage to 90 percent of the new appraised value of the home.
