HECM for Purchase at a Glance

What is it?

A Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) for Purchase is a reverse mortgage designed for senior home buyers, allowing them to purchase a new home without having to make monthly mortgage payments*.

Who is eligible?

Homeowners, ages 62 and older

How does it help older homeowners? 

  • Can help improve cash flow and preserve retirement assets
  • Gives buyers more flexibility to afford the home they want or need
  • Protects the estate from never owing more than the home is worth

* Borrower is responsible for property taxes, homeowner’s insurance, HOA and property maintenance in order for the loan to remain in good standing. A HECM is a home-secured loan that must be repaid upon default or a maturity event, such as when the home is sold, all homeowners have passed away, or the last surviving borrower no longer lives there as their primary residence.
