Gift Mortgage ® (Interest-Only)
Our Gift Mortgage ® is simply an interest-only loan. Some clients use the interest-only loan as an easy framework to manage annual gifting. With a low interest loan at the IRS Applicable Federal Rate (AFR), Lenders may choose to annually transfer wealth up to the IRS $18K per person limit. This framework can help clients keep money in their family while minimizing federal gift tax or imputed interest consequences.

There is a one-time Loan Servicing Account Setup Fee of $65 that will be deducted from the Borrower’s first loan payment before posting to the Lender’s designated bank account.
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
For NY loans, add $10/month to the tiered pricing structure above.
If the Lender elects to pay the monthly Loan Servicing fee, it is also deducted from the Borrower’s monthly loan payment before posting to the Lender’s designated bank account. If the Borrower elects to pay the monthly Loan Servicing fee, it is collected electronically, and added to the ACH pull along with the Borrower’s monthly loan payment.
FCI Lender Services can also collect and hold the Borrower’s monthly property tax / insurance proceeds in a trust account and disburse the scheduled payments to the respective authorities when due. There is a one-time escrow analysis fee of $175 for this account upgrade and a $17.50 monthly fee above and beyond the standard monthly Loans Servicing fees as outlined above.
If for any reasons your clients decide to cancel their Loan Servicing account and manage their loan on their own, there is a $90 Loan Servicing cancellation fee.
*Once a loan has been satisfied, FCI Lender Services, can prepare and file the lien release as part of closing out the family’s Loan Servicing account (with the exception of properties located in Colorado.)

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.
