How gap financing works: The equity gap ($102,463) is the difference between the home price and the remaining loan balance. You cover this with a down payment ($12,750, 5% of purchase price) and a second mortgage for the rest ($89,713 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.
