A mortgage is going to be underwater in the early part of the mortgage far more than at the middle or end.


You are probably right, but I always assumed that even if someone has to pay PMI because they only put 3.5% down, the PMI payments would add a theoretical 20% or more to the home for "underwater" purposes...kind of like Gap insurance on a car.

Well, $0 down home sales like Horton and DSLD tend to use the rural development grants to get qualified buyers.

Those buyers are clearly underwater at the moment of sale and likely for a few years afterward depending on what gets rolled into the mortgage.
