Important information about this loan product.
*The borrower is required to make non-amortizing payments for the first ten years (120 months) of the loan term. These payments will not cover the full amount of interest accruing and interest will be added to the principal balance of the loan. When the payment period ends, interest and fees continue to be added to the loan balance over time. The loan balance after negative amortization depends on the loan term, which varies by borrower. The loan balance continues to grow over time as interest is added to the loan. This loan will reduce the borrower’s equity in the home which may make it more difficult to refinance the loan or to obtain cash upon the sale of the home. By refinancing an existing loan, the borrower’s total finance charges may be higher over the life of the loan. Primary occupancy only. Not available in all states. Additional terms and conditions apply. Ask a licensed loan officer for more details.
