Buying a Home

Home Equity Conversion Mortgage for Purchase (H4P)

Did you know there’s a financing option specifically for homebuyers who are age 62 and older, which can help you get the funds you need to buy the home you want?

How does it work?

With H4P, you can purchase a home by combining a one-time investment of your own funds (down payment) with loan proceeds from a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) to complete the transaction. As with a traditional “forward”mortgage, the home you are purchasing secures the loan.

However, unlike a traditional mortgage, monthly mortgage payments are optional, which can help increase your cash flow. You own the home as long as you live in it. The loan does not have to be repaid until you sell the home or no longer live there as your primary residence. In order for the loan to remain in good standing, you must meet certain home ownership obligations — which include maintaining the property, and keeping current with property-related taxes and insurance payments.

The cash required (down payment) typically ranges from 29% to 65%, depending on your age. (The older you are, the more reverse mortgage proceeds you can receive.) This down payment range assumes closing costs will be financed into the loan.

Larry Was Excellent Larry was excellent. He introduced us to the reverse mortgage program and then helped us through all the steps, answering our questions and giving us updates on what was happening. Throughout it all, his knowledge, competence, patience and kindness made it easy for us to understand. It was a pleasure to work with him and we would recommend him to anyone.

We Started this Process During the Shutdown We started this process during the shutdown. During our process HUD changed the income verification process and we had to submit additional documents to underwriting,. Even though it could have been very stressful Larry guided and educated us through the process. He made what could have been a negative experience into a positive and exciting experience.

Larry is One of the Best I have always considered myself very comfortable financially. That is until a number of uncontrollable events occurred and most of my remaining retirement assets were in bricks. Fortunately, I met Larry a few years ago and remembered hearing about his experience and knowledge in investments, real estate and the markets in general. Having recently lost my husband I did not want to involve family in personal financial discussions, I called Larry. Larry's patience and experience in clearly explaining my options made him very easy to work with. I never felt rushed to make a decision, even after I was approved and then backed away to look at another lender. He didn't "pester" me. He left me alone to think. I came back because I knew he was looking out for my best interest. I spent my career in sales & marketing and am very familiar with selling a high-end product. Larry is one of the best. He kept the needs of his customer his primary objective. Thanks to Larry I am on my feet again.
