I've heard that some cohousing communities have provided down payment assistance and/or soft second mortgages to some group members as a way to achieve income diversity. I've also heard of this happen between members of the group. I've heard of it being structured in a few different ways; my question is how is this done so that the receiver can still get a traditional mortgage? What are the legal issues involved? 1. Borrower pays back loan on a monthly basis, same as mortgage. (this mortgage would be secondary to the main mortgage. would this discourage a bank from lending?) 2. Borrower pays nothing back until the unit is sold, then the full amount (plus interest?) is returned? How is this legally structured? 3. lender owns a percentage of the unit, based on the percentage of cash put in. When unit is sold, lender gets same percentage of selling price back. Is the lender also on the mortgage and a tenant in common? Thank you, Kristen
