Will a bank accept a second mortgage financed by the seller?

Dan
Home Buyer
Queens, NY

I am buying a two family house in Queens, Ny and have 13% to put down. I am getting rates almost a full point higher with putting 13% down, as opposed to 20% down(plus the added cost of PMI). The seller is willing to finance the 7% as a second mortgage at at great rate for me. My question is with the tighter lending standards, will the banks allow this?

For an accurate answer why not speak to your loan officer, you will need their sevices anyway.

The simple answer is yes. As long as the bank is in first position, you are fine.

Dan,
A seller second IS allowed if it is all disclosed in an FHA loan...it could be with other lenders, but highly unlikely in todays market and economic times....talk with an FHA knowledgeable lender! If I can be of any help..please let me know.... Coldwell Banker Mortgage (PHH) is a direct lender and handles FHA loans...I would be happy to put you in contact...
