  3. Reverse Mortgage History • 1961 First reverse mortgage (RM) loan made by Deering Savings & Loan in Maine • 1984 First open-ended, risk pooling RM offered in New Jersey • 1987 Congress passes FHA RM insurance proposal Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac announce intention to purchase RM • 1989 HUD selects 50 lenders by lottery to make FHA-insured RM • 1990 Congress increases FHA insurance authority to 25,000 loans • 1995 HUD publishes regulations allowing Direct Endorsement lenders underwriting authority on HECM loans • FNMA introduces the conventional RM – “Home Keeper” • ABA House of Delegates adopted a resolution that supports continued development of RMs as a viable option for older homeowners

  4. Common Misconceptions • “The lender takes the house” • Homeowner retains full ownership • Reverse Mortgage is a loan • “I can be thrown out of my home” • Homeowner can stay in home until loan maturity event occurs • “I can owe more than my home is worth” • Homeowner can never owe more than value of home • “My heirs will be against it” • Experience demonstrates heirs are in favor of Reverse Mortgages

  5. Reverse Mortgage Basics Reverse Mortgages are non-recourse loans that allow senior homeowners age 62 years of age or older to convert home equity into cash • Borrower will always retain title • NO income or credit qualifications • NO monthly mortgage payments • NO repayment is due until they sell the house or move out permanently • Interest may be tax-deductible upon loan repayment • Proceeds are tax-free

  7. FHA HECM • FHA Mortgage Insurance (MIP) • 2% charged at loan closing, financed into loan balance • FHA guarantees that the borrower will receive all payments that are due them as long as they live in the property • Ensures that borrowers, their estate, or heirs are never liable for more than the market value of their home (non-recourse)

  8. Consumer Education Requirements: • Required for all borrowers prior to application process • Safeguard for borrower: non-biased 3rd party ensures borrowers understand how RMs work, costs, benefits and options available • Face to face session with provider in home or office and optional telephone counseling if requested • HECM Counseling certificate will be issued to borrower

  9. Eligibility Requirements: • Homeowners age 62 and older • Property title holder • Clear title at closing • Any existing liens must be satisfied at closing with loan proceeds • Foreclosures & bankruptcies can be considered

Growth rate on available balance • Lump Sum:All available funds may be received at disbursement • Combinations: Any combination of the above is allowed. Payment plan may also be changed after closing at any time

  12. Reverse Mortgage Interest Rates: Reverse Mortgages charge interest at a monthly, annual or semi-annual adjustable rate, depending on which loan is selected: Index - 1 year T-bill (FHA - HECM) – 5.02% Index - 1 month CD (FNMA - Home Keeper) – 6.75% Index - 6 month LIBOR (Jumbo - Cash Account) – 8.27% • Which means the interest rate that is charged can change periodically • However, this does NOT affect the amount of money borrower(s) receive • Rather this only affects the amount that will be required to be paid back when the loan becomes due and payable

  13. Application Overview: • Appraisal required: property must meet FHA minimum standards • Credit report: tri-merged in-file required to verify judgments, etc. • Proof of date of birth • Proof of Social Security number • Proof of consumer education • Copy of homeowners insurance policy

  15. Loan Repayments: • Automatically due & payable • Last surviving borrower vacates property • Sale of property • Title conveyance • Not principal residence for more than 12 consecutive months

  16. Repayment Process: • Amount due = loan balance + interest & fees • Payoff will be due in one lump sum payment • Typically paid from the sale of home • Timeframe = “good faith efforts” to market – typically 180 days • NON-RECOURSE FEATURE: neither the borrower nor their heirs will be liable for more than the current market value of the property at time of payoff
