• An 80-10-10 mortgage consists of two mortgages: the first is a fixed-rate loan of 80% of the value of the home; the second - 10% as a loan secured by equity capital; and the remaining 10% as a down payment in cash.

  • This type of mortgage scheme lowers the down payment on a home without having to pay private mortgage insurance (PMI), helping borrowers get a home more easily with upfront costs.
  • However, borrowers will face relatively high monthly mortgage payments and may face higher managed loan payments if interest rates rise.
