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 65%, 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.

Larry Has Knowledge, Expertise, and Patience Larry is the best! He walked me through the process, explained all of my options, and was always available to answer my questions, I had many of them. He has the knowledge, expertise, and the patience that I required to guide me through this process. I was fortunate that he was referred to me by my financial planner, and I think that anybody else he works with will feel the same way.

Extremely Patient, Courteous, and Helpful My father recently concluded a reverse mortgage for which Mr. Larry McAnarney was the loan officer. I sat in with my father on several of the discussions to help him through the process. Mr. McAnarney was extremely patient, courteous and helpful. He answered all of our questions and went out of his way to make sure that my father understood his options and was comfortable. His conduct was very professional, while exhibiting genuine care for the elderly client whom he was serving. Both my father and I felt very confident about his knowledge, ethics and professionalism. I would recommend Mr. McAnarney to anyone considering the option of a reverse mortgage.
