More than one mortgage…
• Assume Buyer buying apt. house for $3
million.
• Has $500,000 down.
• Qualifies for $2 million loan
from Bank – what security?
• $500,000 short.
• Solution?
$500,000 down
Second mortgage [junior]
•
•
•
•
Goes to another lender – or even same lender
Why would someone lend additional $500k?
What would first mortgage holder allow this?
What is the cushion (margin of security) for
1st?
FMV = $3,000,000 (purchase price)
Down = 500,000
1st = $2,000,000
2nd =
500,000
Any cushion for 2nd [junior]?
• FMV = $3,000,000 (purchase price)
Down = 500,000
1st = $2,000,000
2nd =
500,000
Would 2nd be “safe”?
What happens if property
values decline?
Seller Carry-Backs
• Assume same facts:
• FMV
= $3,000,000
• Down payment
= $ 500,000
• 1st
= $2,000,000
And buyer can’t find a lender to loan the rest
but seller wants/needs to sell. Solution?
How structured?
Term: “Under Water”
• Assume FMV declines from $3,000,000 to
$2,000,000.
• First mortgage – balance of $2,000,000
• Second
- balance of $ 500,000
How much would you pay for the property?
In order
to sell what
has to happen?
Will discuss why borrowers defaulting
– but let’s first look at the process
• Foreclosure
– What does this mean?
– What gives lender the right?
– And – what’s the process?
• Same facts:
• Value at time of default = $2,000,000
• 1st loan
= $2,000,000
First forecloses; what is the highest bid?
Another Term: Deficiency Judgment
Assume same facts
Value = $2,000,000 at time of default
1st has balance due of $2,000,000
High bid = $1,500,000.
Now what?
And what about 2nd? (balance due = $500,000)
