Subordinate Financing
Subordinate financing is any loan that ranks behind your first mortgage. A second mortgage is one example. It gets paid after the first loan.
What Subordinate Financing means
Lenders track it because it affects risk and your total debt. Some programs allow it and some limit it. Down payment help is often subordinate.
Florida example
A Florida buyer adds down payment help as a second loan. That help sits behind the main mortgage. We structure it so the deal still closes.

It gets paid after the first loan if the home is sold.
Why it matters
