Stretching Retirement Savings
A reverse mortgage is a loan available to homeowners aged 55+ to purchase or refinance a primary residence with no monthly mortgage payments. With a refinance, the reverse mortgage pays off any current mortgage they may have, freeing up the cash they had needed previously to make their monthly mortgage payment and allowing for more discretionary income. If the homeowner qualifies for more cash than the balance of their current mortgage or does not have a mortgage on their home, the funds can be paid to them as cash, a line of credit or monthly payments, it is their choice how to take their funds. The funds can be used for anything they may want or need, such as home improvements, unexpected medical costs, and in-home care. The amount a person may qualify for is determined by their age, the value of the home and the current interest rates. Because the loan does not require monthly mortgage payments, it allows the homeowner the flexibility to retain ownership of their home while they utilize the equity to fund their retirement. HECM reverse mortgages are the most common type of reverse mortgage and are available to people aged 62+. All HECM’s are Reverse Mortgages but not all Reverse Mortgages are HECM’s; some reverse mortgages are jumbo and proprietary loans available from specific lenders and are not FHA loans. We have access to every HECM and Proprietary program available and as your local broker, it is our fiduciary responsibility to guide you to the optimal solution for your specific goals.

When we met Tom and Susan, they were at the end of their rope with another reverse mortgage company out of state. They shared with us that they had been working on a loan with the other company for over 100 days with no end in sight.

We were so thankful to have been given the opportunity to assist with this loan. Considering we are Oregon’s leading reverse mortgage brokerage, we are very experienced with many different situations.

Purchasing a Home with a Reverse Mortgage
Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) for Purchase (H4P) is a reverse mortgage that allows seniors aged 62 or older, to buy a new principal home using loan proceeds from a reverse mortgage. The HECM for Purchase Program provides the opportunity to purchase a new principal residence with HECM loan proceeds in a single transaction. The HECM loan does not require mortgage loan repayment until the borrower permanently leaves the home.
A reverse mortgage is a complex financial tool. When deliberating whether it’s a good fit, guidance is best left to the experts with the most experience. NWRM has a responsibility to ensure this program is a great fit for each client. We take the time to provide informed and reassuring guidance to ensure this step is taken in a professional and friendly manner, and that you enjoy an outstanding lending experience.
With an H4P loan, people can take out a reverse mortgage and buy a new home in the same transaction. Usually, Homebuyers have a large cash down payment that is about 40-50% of the new home's purchase price. They then use the reverse mortgage loan to borrow 50 to 60% against the home equity of the new property to complete the purchase of their new home. The homeowners are not required to make any monthly mortgage payments as long as they reside in the home and are expected to maintain the home and cover homeowners’ insurance.
