I am available for office seminars or one on one presentations. I teach you how to think outside the box and be aware of the many ways in which a senior 62 yrs. or older might purchase a primary residence with a reverse mortgage. I am always looking to collaborate with those Realtors who have an interest in helping seniors purchase homes, or who are (SRES) Senior Real Estate Specialists. I am here to help you build your business. Often your buyer may not qualify for a traditional loan and I have a way to get those seniors into the home of their dreams.
What is the Reverse Mortgage Purchase Program?
An FHA insured loan (H.E.C.M) that allows people 62 and older to purchase a home without taking on monthly mortgage payments. It is NOT however an FHA loan.
Does the Reverse Mortgage Purchase Pay the Homeowner?
No, the Reverse Mortgage Purchase allows homeowners to purchase a home without taking on monthly mortgage payments, but does not typically provide an income source.
