Piggyback mortgage

A piggyback mortgage combines a standard first mortgage with a home-equity loan. Piggybacks are used as a way around paying private mortgage insurance, which is required when borrowers take out a mortgage that exceeds 80% of the home purchase price. Piggybacks are also used to avoid paying higher rates charged for jumbo mortgage loans.
