How gap financing works: The equity gap ($147,393) is the difference between the home price and the remaining loan balance. You cover this with a down payment ($31,250, 5% of purchase price) and a second mortgage for the rest ($116,143 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.
