Q&A · Down Payment Assistance

How does the V1-FAST 100 forgivable second work?

It's a 3.5% second lien at 0% interest, with no monthly payment.

It sits behind your first mortgage as a deferred note. As long as the home stays owner-occupied and no repayment event occurs (like selling or refinancing into a non-eligible loan), it's forgiven over time.

If a repayment event happens before full forgiveness, the remaining balance comes due — that's the tradeoff for $0 down with no monthly second payment.
