Payments are reduced and figured on a lower interest rate over a specific term.
The difference between the "real" note rate and the lowered interest rate is paid in cash by the seller or the buyer.
Think of it like a subsidy. It's like socking away $1200 in the bank and withdrawing $100 every month for 12 months to help make your mortgage payment.
