Plan Your Timeline Before You Close
If you sell or refinance before the 7-year forgiveness period ends, the remaining unforgiven balance on your Hoosier Homes second loan must be repaid — here is why that matters before you close.
Hoosier Homes forgives 1/84th of the assistance principal each month you remain in the home as your primary residence. That forgiveness stops — and any unforgiven balance becomes due — when you sell, refinance, or otherwise exit the program terms within the 7-year window.
This is not a penalty. It is how the program recovers assistance when a buyer does not complete the full forgiveness term. The payoff comes from your sale proceeds or is rolled into a refinance transaction.
Ryan and Steve walk through this scenario before you close on your purchase — so you know what a move or refinance could cost at year 2, year 4, or any point inside the window.
Approximate unforgiven balance if you exit at various points (assuming primary-residence occupancy throughout).
Three questions Ryan and Steve ask every Hoosier Homes buyer.
