A piggyback is basically nothing more than a second mortgage closed at the same time with the first mortgage in such a way that the share of the first mortgage drops down to 80% of the total loan.
A common formula is 80-10-10 in which 80% is the first, 10% is the second (piggyback) mortgage, and the last 10% is the down payment.
In many cases, the piggyback is provided as a revolving home equity line of credit (HELOC) to pay for the recurring expenses. Studies show that the number of piggyback mortgages has quadrupled since 2000.
However, piggybacks have a couple of drawbacks.
First of all, you need a higher FICO (credit) score to qualify for the piggyback (about 680) than for the first mortgage (as low as 620 will do).
Secondly, a recent study by Standard & Poor's (S&P) has shown that piggyback loans have a higher default risk than the others.
The study examining the performance of 640,000 piggyback loans secured between 2002-2004 has shown that piggyback mortgages are 43% more likely to default than the conventional first mortgages even when one statistically controls for such factors as the FICO score of the borrowers.
