CHFA's Down Payment Assistance Second Mortgage Loan is a 0% interest, deferred-payment second mortgage equal to up to 4% of the CHFA first mortgage loan amount (capped at $25,000 in practice for most products). No monthly payments are required. The full principal balance is due upon sale, refinance, payoff of the first mortgage, or when the home is no longer the borrower's primary residence; otherwise repayment is deferred to month 361 of the first mortgage. The Second Mortgage option is an alternative to the CHFA Grant — borrowers select one or the other, not both.
