What is a 0% interest forgivable loan?

It is a 0% loan that will be forgiven after 5 years. A lien will be placed on your property for the amount of the 0% loan and the loan is forgiven over the 5-year period until completely forgiven in year 5. If the property is sold before the 5-year term ends, the unforgiven balance will be due out of the net proceeds from the property sale.
