FREEDOM TO CHOOSE... to retire in a home that is right for you!
Updated: Apr 14, 2022
The HECM* for Purchase (H4P) is a reverse mortgage loan insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) that allows seniors to use the equity from the sale of a previous residence to buy their next primary home in one transaction. Regardless of how long a borrower lives in the home or what happens to the home’s value, the borrower only makes one initial investment (down payment) towards the purchase. The loan becomes repayable when the last surviving borrower moves out of the home, or loan terms are no longer met.
*Most, but not all, reverse mortgages today are federally insured through the Federal Housing Administration’s Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) Program. This advertisement talks about HECM loans only. body text
