Retirement Mortgage Approach Webinar

Are you retired homeowner with substantial equity in your home that may be struggling to make ends meet or just want a safety net?

The Retirement Mortgage Approach is a unique idea that allows homeowners who are age 62 or older to borrow against the equity in their home with no monthly payments required. The loan is repaid when the borrower sells the property or moves out of the home.

When inflation goes up, the cost of living goes up along with it. This can be a problem for retirees on a fixed income, as their incomes may not keep pace with the rising cost of groceries, utilities, gasoline, and everything else. The Retirement mortgage can help by providing them with additional income monthly or a line of credit just in case.

As with any mortgage, you must meet your loan obligations, keeping current with property taxes, insurance and keeping your home in good condition. (or good shape or maintenance).

This is not a commitment to lend. Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECMs) are eligible for borrowers 62 and older. Borrower must pay property taxes, Homeowner’s insurance, HOA dues (as applicable), and maintain the home and using it as primary residence or the loan will need to be repaid. Otherwise, the loan must be repaid when the borrowers leave the home more than 12 consecutive months, transfer their property’s title to another person, the last borrower passes away or sells the home. Prices, guidelines and minimum requirements are subject to change without notice. Subject to review of credit and/or collateral; not all applicants will qualify for financing. It is important to make an informed decision when selecting and using a loan product; make sure to compare loan types when making a financing decision.
