Purchase Your Dream Home With An H4P

What Is a HECM For Purchase Loan? (H4P)

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.

Have You Thought About “Right-Sizing”?

At some point in retirement the decision for many seniors to “Right-Size” starts with carefully identifying your priorities, requirements, stage in life, and matching it to the home or community that is a perfect fit for you whether it be: 

  • Upsizing to a home that better fits your lifestyle
  • Downsizing to a home that is more manageable
  • Moving to a new “active” retirement community 
  • Moving closer to family 

Use the (Home Equity Conversion Mortgage) HECM for Purchase (H4P) product to buy a Right-Sized home that fits your needs without the financial burden of a mortgage payment. Combining a one-time down payment with the proceeds from a HECM allows you to complete a purchase transaction making it the same as if you bought your home with 100% cash. .

Since you don’t need 100% of the purchase price, the savings can allow you to reinvest the money back into your savings. The H4P can be just he thing you need to start living your retirement your way.

The HECM purchase loan is a great option if you:

  • Live on a fixed income and cannot use other traditional financing options.
  • Need a home to better suit your needs.
  • Want to hold on to some of the proceeds from your home’s sale.
  • Are ready to “right-size” your home, move closer to family or relocate to a more temperate climate.
