HOW IT WORKS

METHODOLOGY

title image

The 60/40 Business Method is a structured housing stabilization framework designed to address affordability challenges through a legally defined and adaptable approach. Rather than relying on a single rigid obligation, the method applies a segmented mortgage concept that balances immediate payment sustainability with long-term financial stability.

This methodology is built to operate within existing legal, financial, and policy environments, allowing for compatibility with current mortgage regulations, tax frameworks, and public-interest housing objectives. Its design emphasizes transparency, enforceability, and clearly defined obligations over the life of the mortgage.

By aligning payment responsibility with real-world economic capacity, the method seeks to reduce systemic payment stress while preserving ownership continuity and long-term asset integrity. The approach is intended to function as a practical, repeatable framework that can be evaluated, regulated, and implemented at scale under appropriate authorization.

Intended Outcomes & Policy Alignment

Positive Equity Creation

Establishes a long-term structure intended to support equity recovery over the life of the mortgage under stable participation and market conditions.

Government Incentive Compatibility

Designed to operate within existing legal and tax frameworks and to remain compatible with established public-policy tools where applicable.

Flexible Qualification Logic

Focuses on sustainability of the adjusted monthly obligation, supporting evaluation based on realistic payment capacity rather than rigid legacy thresholds alone.

LOAN STRUCTURE

title image

One Mortgage — Two Notes (60/40)
Both notes are legally recorded and secured under a single mortgage.

Note A (60%)
  • 360 Fixed Payments
  • Zero Interest
  • Payments begin 60 days after closing
Note B (40%)
  • Zero Interest
  • No Monthly Payments
  • Settled only upon a qualifying title event

STRUCTURE

One mortgage secures two separate promissory notes, each recorded and enforceable under program rules.

NOTE A (60%)

Note A represents 60% of the mortgage balance and is paid through 360 equal, consecutive, zero-interest monthly payments following a 60-day post-closing stabilization period.

NOTE B (40%)

Note B represents the remaining 40% of the balance, carries zero interest, requires no monthly payments, and remains outstanding until a qualifying title-related event occurs.

TITLE EVENT RULE

NAt any title-related event outside program rules—including sale, refinance, or transfer—both Note A and Note B must be fully satisfied or properly assumed by an eligible participant.

Note A (60%)

title image

Active Payment Note
Both notes are legally recorded and secured under a single mortgage.

  • Zero interest
  • The monthly payment is calculated as: Note A ÷ 360
  • Payments are equal, fixed, and consecutive
  • First payment is due 60 days after closing
  • A standard monthly servicing fee may apply (e.g., $8/month, if required by the servicing institution)
Important
After the 60-day post-closing stabilization period, the participant proceeds with 360 consecutive payments. No hardship pauses exist and no term extensions exist.
Execution Sequence
Step 1
Note A runs first for 360 consecutive months (after the 60-day post-closing period).
Only after Note A is fully satisfied
Step 2
Note B remains deferred and inactive during Note A, then activates after Note A completion and runs for an additional 360 months.
Important: Note B does not begin, accrue, or execute while Note A is active.

Note B (40%)

title image

Deferred Stability Note
Both notes are legally recorded and secured under a single mortgage.

Nature of Note B
  • Zero interest
  • No monthly payments
  • No compounding
  • Remains recorded and outstanding
Note B is settled only upon a title-related event, including:
  • Sale
  • Refinance outside program rules
  • Transfer outside program rules
Important
At any such event, all outstanding balances under both Note A and Note B must be fully satisfied.

CLOSING COSTS

title image

(FINAL RULES)

Total Closing Costs

Total closing costs equal 4.15% of the total mortgage amount (Note A + Note B) and are assessed at closing.

Hardship Closing Protection (Closing Only)

For participants experiencing financial hardship:

  • Minimum required contribution at closing: $3,000
  • The remaining portion of the 4.15% closing cost:
    • Financed exclusively into Note A
    • Amortized across the same 360 Note A payments
    • Zero interest
    • No changes to the payment structure
    • No term extensions

AFFORDABILITY

title image

(DTI/DTR)

Standard Affordability Cap

Affordability is evaluated using conservative standards such as:

  • Up to 26% DTI / DTR (standard guideline)

Protective Guideline for Vulnerable Veterans

For veterans on fixed income, disability, or severe affordability stress:

  • A more conservative 20% guideline may be applied to prevent unsustainable obligations.

Taxes & Insurance (PITI)

Taxes and insurance may be included only if the total monthly housing obligation remains within the applicable affordability cap .
