HECM* (HOME EQUITY CONVERSION MORTGAGE)

GRA's Reverse Mortgage program.

Let your clients know how their empty nest can pay for a smaller one.

A HECM for Purchase can:

• Increase purchasing power: Makes buying a higher-priced home easier to afford

• Capture new customers: Boomers don't want mortgage payments, but are hesitant to use all their assets to purchase a new home

• Sell homes faster: Customers must often wait to get the highest offer; this gives them more financial freedom to buy their house faster

*Charges such as an origination fee, mortgage insurance premiums, closing costs and/or servicing fees may be assessed and will be added to the loan balance. The loan balance grows over time, and interest is added to that balance. Interest on a reverse mortgage is not deductible from your income tax until you repay all or part of the interest on the loan. Although the loan is non-recourse, at the maturity of the loan, the lender will have a claim against your property and you or your heirs may need to sell the property in order to repay the loan or use other assets to repay the loan in order to retain the property. You should know that a reverse mortgage is a negative amortization loan which means that your mortgage balance will increase while your home equity decreases if you do not make principle and interest payments on your loan. This may make it more difficult to refinance the loan or to obtain cash upon the sale of the home. However, you will never owe more than the home is worth when the loan is repaid.

Borrower must pay taxes, fees, and insurance while maintaining the home and using it as primary residence or the loan will need to be repaid. Not available in all states. Not all applicants will be approved. Restrictions apply. Compare loan types when making a financial decision. Guaranteed Rate, Inc. is not affiliated with, nor has this material been reviewed, approved or issued by, HUD, FHA or any government agency.
