Reverse for Purchase Loan

What is a Reverse for purchase loan?

A HECM for Purchase Loan, also known as a Reverse for Purchase, is a government-insured loan that gives homeowners 62 and older the convenience and flexibility to purchase a new home while eliminating mortgage payments. You make a down payment and let your HECM for Purchase loan cover the rest. This loan is designed to allow seniors to purchase a new principal residence and obtain a reverse mortgage within a single transaction, the program enables senior homeowners to relocate to other geographical areas to be closer to family members, downsize to homes that meet their physical needs or help with their monthly budget by eliminating their mortgage payments.

Key features of
Reverse for Purchase Loans include:

Eligibility

To be eligible for a Reverse for Purchase loan, you typically need to be at least 62 years old, possess a considerable amount of equity in your existing property (or have the capability to make a substantial down payment), and meet specific financial requirements.

Down Payment

When you decide to buy a new home, you’ll need to make a down payment. This payment is typically made using the proceeds from the sale of your current home, your savings, or other available sources. The amount of the down payment will depend on several factors, including your age, the appraised value of the new home, and current interest rates.

Reverse Mortgage

A Reverse for Purchase loan can cover the remaining cost of a new home. It’s a type of reverse mortgage where you don’t make monthly payments. The loan balance accumulates and the lender is repaid when you sell the home, move out, or pass away.

Ownership and Occupancy

You must use the new home as your primary residence and cover property taxes, insurance, and maintenance.

Repayment

When you take out a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) loan, the loan becomes due in case you sell your home, move out, or pass away. At that time, the lender is repaid from the proceeds of the home sale. If you sell the home for an amount exceeding the loan balance, you or your heirs will receive the remaining equity. However, if you sell the home for a lower price than the loan balance, the FHA insurance that comes with HECM loans will typically cover the shortfall. In such a case, neither you nor your heirs will be held responsible for the difference.
