PowerPlus is the creation of First Integrity Mortgage Services, in cooperation
with several area not-for-profit Institutional Partners. PowerPlus reduces monthly mortgage payments.
PowerPlus is what Realtors® commonly refer to as a “piggyback loan.” Instead of a single mortgage, the loan amount is divided into two less expensive loans…a 30-year fixed rate 1st mortgage (80% LTV, or loan-to-value), plus a 2nd mortgage (10% or 15% LTV), along with a 5% or 10% down payment. The 2nd mortgage is fixed for 7 years and amortized over 30 years, at a low interest rate.
Both Fannie Mae® and Freddie Mac® permit cost-effective piggybacks as a
viable alternative to Private Mortgage Insurance. Jumbo borrowers have recently
discovered First Integrity’s PowerPlus as a cost-effective alternative to jumbo
interest rates.
