HECM for Purchase Designed for Retirement Homeownership

HECM for Purchase is a specialized reverse mortgage program that allows eligible homeowners to purchase a new primary residence using a reverse mortgage. This option enables borrowers to eliminate monthly mortgage payments while securing a home that better fits their retirement lifestyle.

How HECM for Purchase Works

With HECM for Purchase, borrowers use a combination of a down payment and reverse mortgage proceeds to buy a home outright. Once the transaction is complete, there are no required monthly principal and interest payments on the reverse mortgage portion. The borrower must occupy the home as a primary residence and continue to meet property obligations such as taxes, insurance, and maintenance. We guide clients through each step to ensure full compliance and understanding.

Eligibility and Property Requirements

To qualify for HECM for Purchase, at least one borrower must meet the minimum age requirement and complete HUD-approved counseling. The property must also meet FHA guidelines and be used as the borrower’s primary residence. Eligible properties typically include single-family homes, FHA-approved condominiums, and certain multi-unit residences. Our team verifies eligibility early in the process to help avoid delays and ensure a smooth purchase experience.

"FAQs"

A reverse mortgage is a loan that allows homeowners aged 62 and older to convert a portion of their home equity into cash. Unlike traditional mortgages, there are no monthly principal or interest payments. The loan is repaid only when the homeowner sells the home, permanently moves out, or passes away.

To qualify, at least one borrower must be 62 years or older, occupy the home as a primary residence, and meet property and insurance requirements. Programs like HECM, Jumbo, Proprietary, and HECM for Purchase may have additional eligibility criteria.

No. Borrowers retain full ownership of their home. You remain responsible for property taxes, insurance, and maintenance, but the lender does not take ownership of your property.

Yes. HECM for Purchase allows eligible Texas homeowners to buy a new primary residence using reverse mortgage proceeds, eliminating monthly mortgage payments and improving retirement cash flow.
