Home Equity Conversion Mortgage for Purchase (H4P)

Did you know there’s a financing option specifically for homebuyers who are age 62 and older, which can help you get the funds you need to buy the home you want?

How does it work?

With H4P, you can purchase a home by combining a one-time investment of your own funds (down payment) with loan proceeds from a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) to complete the transaction. As with a traditional “forward”mortgage, the home you are purchasing secures the loan.

However, unlike a traditional mortgage, there are no monthly mortgage payments, which can help increase your cash flow. You own the home as long as you live in it. The loan does not have to be repaid until you sell the home or no longer live there as your primary residence. In order for the loan to remain in good standing, you must meet certain home ownership obligations — which include maintaining the property, and keeping current with property-related taxes and insurance payments.

The cash required (down payment) typically ranges from 29% to 62%, depending on your age. (The older you are, the more reverse mortgage proceeds you can receive.) This down payment range assumes closing costs will be financed into the loan.

Totally Committed to Service and the Custome Going through the hoops for a reverse mortgage was a task. I found Larry McAnarney and he was beyond professional in his willingness to cover every nuance, foresee any possible problems, and SUPER follow through after approval. I can't reommend this service highly enough.

Wonderful Experience I want to join the chorus of those who had a wonderful experience working with Larry. I was pretty sure that a reverse mortgage was the right path for my wife and myself to take at this stage of our lives, but she was somewhat reluctant and unsure. Larry was able to gain her confidence, as well as my own, in the manner of his presentation of just the facts - and his genuinely kind disposition. He was, as well, a very effective ally in dealing with the title company over a matter which was quite important to us. As a recently retired sales rep myself, I was most impressed by dealing with someone who truly puts the customer first.

Quick Response I had questions about reverse mortgages and how they worked. Larry called and explained everything to us very well. He was quick responding back when I contacted him about some concerns I had while I was deciding to go ahead or not. I would recommend him to others, very polite and helpful. Was a pleasure working with him.
