Realtor Reverse Mortgage for Purchase Program
Real Estate Professionals:
A home financing option that can help you sell more homes
The Baby Boom generation represents an important opportunity for real estate professionals to serve a rapidly growing market of people who are motivated to sell their current homes and buy a different one for retirement — one that’s “right-sized,” and may be closer to friends and/or family.
Our Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) for Purchase home financing solution can make it easier for people age 62 and older to buy a home that better fits their retirement needs and wants.
- It can help you attract and capture a brand new — and rapidly growing — market of home buyers.
- Get a larger audience for your listings.
- More shoppers can become buyers.
- Buyers get additional spending power, enabling them to better afford upgrades or a more expensive home.
- Gain more leads from satisfied customers.
How it works:
Buyers can purchase a home by combining a one-time investment of their own funds (a down payment of typically about 45% to 62%, depending on borrower age) with loan proceeds from a HECM. (This down payment range assumes closing costs will be financed into the loan.) As with a traditional “forward” mortgage, the home they purchase secures the loan. But unlike a traditional mortgage, monthly mortgage payments are optional while they own and live in the home as their primary residence — making buying a new home even more attractive.
As with any home-secured loan, the borrower must meet their loan obligations, keeping current with property taxes, insurance, maintenance, and any homeowners association fees.
