The monthly servicing fee for family mortgage loans up to $400k is $20 per month.
The monthly servicing fee for loans over $400K up to $1M is an additional $10/month per $100K:
$400K+ up to $500K = $30 | $500K+ up to $600K = $40
$600K+ up to $700K = $50 | $700K+ up to $800K = $60
$800K+ up to $900K = $70 | $900K+ up to $1M = $80
Loans over $1M, add $20/month, per million:
$1M+ up to $2M = $100 per month | $2M+ up to $3M = $120 per month

Future Modifications to the Loan Documents – $400 Per Modification**
Upon request, FCI Lender Services, Inc. ® can assist loan servicing clients with various loan Modifications, including:
(1) Formal Interest-Rate Modification to Promissory Note.
Please note, conservative tax professionals discourage Interest-Rate reductions (Modifications) on Family loans. In short, Lenders who grant their Borrower a rate reduction as the IRS Applicable Federal Rates fall, arguably make a reportable lump-sum financial gift of the Borrower’s total interest savings recognized over the life of the loan. Please consult your trusted tax advisor before reducing the rate on your loan.
(2) Formal Re-amortization of Borrower Payment Schedule Following Large Principal Pay-Down.
(3) Formal Conversion of Amortized Promissory Note to Interest-Only Promissory Note or Vice Versa.
If necessary, FCI can also assist with allonge preparation, assignment preparation and recording, and deferment agreements.
**FCI charges an additional $65 administrative fee to reset the loan and implement any account changes as referenced above.
If for any reasons you decide to cancel your Loan Servicing account and manage your loan on your own, there is a $90 Loan Servicing cancellation fee.
Knowledgeable and friendly customer service representatives are available Monday thru Friday, 8AM – 5PM PST to answer questions and respond to change requests to or account updates.

Document the Loan
Within one business day of submitting your online Setup Form, a Family Mortgage Team Member will call you to confirm the details of your loan. Within seven business days of submitting your online Setup Form, we will email both parties your comprehensive loan documents for your review and approval.
All National Family Mortgages ® have two crucial components:
Promissory Note: The Promissory Note establishes the legal debt between the parties and documents how the debt is going to be repaid.
Mortgage / Deed of Trust / Security Deed: This is the legal security instrument through which you offer the property as collateral to your Lender in exchange for the loan.
We will also include setup forms for the optional Family Mortgage loan servicing program.
Register the Loan
National Family Mortgage ® will coordinate scheduling details and expectations with your closing attorney, title company, or escrow company that will otherwise conduct your real estate settlement. Please note, there is generally only one settlement agent, be it an attorney, title company, or an escrow company. The type of settlement agent is determined by state regulations and customs.*
After you have reviewed and approved your loan documents, the documents are emailed to your settlement agent. The settlement agent will oversee the execution and government recording of your Family Mortgage.
* If the property is in Texas, we require your real estate closing must be conducted by either a Texas law firm or a Fee Attorney. A Fee Attorney refers to a lawyer who has entered into a contractual relationship with a title insurance company, or who serves as an agent of a title insurance company, to close real estate transactions on its behalf in exchange for a portion of the title insurance premium.
Please note, in addition to National Family Mortgage’s ® one-time fee for service, the following states requires a mortgage tax must be paid at the time of local government recording:
Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, Tennessee, Virginia.
Please be sure to review our Family Mortgage Guide for estimated state tax rates.
It is the client’s responsibility to pay this additional tax. The tax will be collected by your settlement agent.
