This help is a deferred 0% second loan, and you make no monthly payments on it. It comes due when you sell, refinance, move out, finish paying your home loan or reach the end of the loan term.

You pay nothing each month on a deferred loan. Once you sell, refinance or finish paying the first mortgage, the full amount comes due.
