The History • A.A.R.P lobbied congress in the early 80’s for a program that would give seniors a way to convert equity from the home to improve the quality of life. • 1988 the Department of Housing and Urban Development began to administer the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage. • Insured by the Federal Housing Authority
Types of Reverse Mortgages • H.E.C.M FIXED RATE– loan fixed for life; currently offering the borrower the most cash. However, all available funds must be taken at closing • H.E.C.M monthly adjustable – Different payment options like line of Credit or monthly payments. Based on the 1-month LIBOR plus margin. • HECM Saver in both fixed or adjustable: Lower LTV in exchange for lower up-front costs.
How it Works • No repayment as long as the home is used as the primary residence by the homeowner. • No income requirements • No credit score requirements • Qualifications are based on Home Value, Age, and current interest rates ONLY. • Borrowers MUST continue to pay property tax and insurance
How it workscontinued… • This is a deferred interest loan. While the customer is not required to make a monthly payment, interest will accumulate each month. Customer can make payments. • Beneficiaries have 12 months to sell or refinance the property. • Non-recourse loan, so borrowers and beneficiaries never owe more than the home is worth
Who Qualifies? • All parties on the Deed of Trust that are at least 62 years or older. • Must have a Social Security number and be able to prove date of birth. • Borrowers must live in the home as their primary residence. • Must attend Counseling
Types of Properties • Single family, • Owner-occupied two, three and four unit complexes • Townhouses and condominiums • Mobile and manufactured homes, on permanent foundations, including condominiums • PUDs

Fees100% of fees can be financed into the loan • Origination fee – (WAIVED by BNC) • 2% of the first $200K of the home value • 1% of the value above $200K • $2,500 minimum; $6,000 maximum • F.H.A. mortgage insurance – 2% of the home value plus 1.25% of the principal loan amount monthly. • Standard third party closing costs • Service Set aside Fee – (WAIVED by BNC)
Repair Set Aside • Allows the lender to hold a portion of the proceeds from the closing to insure the borrower completes the necessary repairs if needed. Borrower usually has 6 months to complete.
HECM Purchase • Like a normal HECM Re-fi, the principle limit will be calculated based off of the age of the youngest borrower, the current interest rates, and the lowest of the appraised value, sales price or lending limit. • Proof of funds to close. The following are not acceptable: grants, seller contributions or secondary financing. All Retirement funds must be liquid. • Any repairs that are required by FHA guideline must be performed before closing. Seller is responsible for ALL repair costs. • The borrower must occupy property within 60 days of closing.

Reverse Mortgage Example #1 • Current Situation • Mrs. Smith has a home worth 150,000 and has a current mortgage for 58,000 with a payment of 642.00. Mrs. Smith also has some credit card debt for 12,000 and would like to do some minor home repairs. Mrs. Smith does not want to do a traditional mortgage because she has been late on many house payments and her credit is in the low 500’s. At the current rate and payments she has been offered she would not be able to afford the refinance with her limited monthly income. • New Situation • With a Reverse Mortgage Mrs. Smith was able to qualify for 85,000. She was able to pay off her mortgage, all her credit card debt, do 2,000 in home repairs and still put 13,000 in the bank for emergency purposes. Best of all she never has to make a payment so she does not have to worry about getting foreclosed on. Not only does Mrs. Smith have the 13,000 she no longer has to make a house or credit card payment and is able to save an additional 900.00 a month!!!
Reverse Mortgage Example #2 • Purchase with a REVERSE Mortgage…… • Mrs. Smith is 72 and owns a home worth 250,000 with a current mortgage for 108,000. She is going to sell her home and net 117,000 in proceeds. • She needs to find a realtor to help find a new home in the price range of 117,000. • Options available for Mrs. Smith • Find a house in the same area for $117,000 cash deal. • Find a house in the same area for $ 325,000 and use a reverse mortgage to purchase with no monthly payment. • Find a house in the same area for $150,000 and use a reverse mortgage to purchase with no monthly payment AND keep $63,000 in the bank…
