An H4P loan allows a senior to use the proceeds from their HECM loan to put down a down payment on a new property, essentially providing a reverse mortgage and new home in the same transaction. Borrowers can use their own money to cover 40-50% of the purchase price, while the HECM loan covers the rest. Using an H4P loan can significantly impact your finances and allow you to do more with your money without the worry of monthly mortgage payments.
Like all other HECM loans, repayment is not due until you no longer use the home as your primary residence, whether that means you move out, sell the property or pass away. Likewise, you or your family can then sell the home to repay the loan.
