Convention Loan- Can seller hold 2nd if appraisal comes in Low?
Can a Seller hold a 2nd mortgage on a conventional Loan?
Selling Price $200,000
Down payment 5% ($10,000)
Loan amount $190,000
The appraisal comes in at $191,000
Will banks or Fannie mae/freddie mac allow the seller to hold a 2nd mortgage (roughly $9,000) for the difference between the Sales Price and appraised value so the bank would still only be loaning 95% of the appraised value? Or do they need the entire downpayment coming from the buyer?
Hope this makes sense.
Thanks
