Loan Comparison: 6% vs 6.5%

How gap financing works: The equity gap ($136,249) is the difference between the home price and the remaining loan balance. You cover this with a down payment ($8,750, 5% of purchase price) and a second mortgage for the rest ($127,499 at 8.5%). Even with two payments, the blended cost is typically much lower than a new conventional loan. We work with lenders who specialize in assumption gap financing.
