PURCHASE PRICE Age $250,000 $300,000 $350,000 $400,000 $450,000 $500, $128,802 $154,152 $179,889 $204,739 $229,702 $254, $124,236 $148,786 $173,589 $197,539 $221,602 $245, $115,736 $138,552 $161,689 $183,939 $206,136 $228, $106,302 $127,152 $148,389 $168,739 $189,202 $209, $95,552 $114,252 $133,339 $151,539 $169,739 $188, $85,598 $101,898 $118,998 $135,698 $152,398 $169,098 Down Payment This calculation is based on youngest borrower using HECM Fixed Rate of 4.75% as of March 1, Adjustable rates are available. Annual loan cost, similar to APR, can range from 2.659% %. This table shows the estimated borrower funds needed at closing from utilizing an FHAinsured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage to purchase a home. This information is provided as a guideline and does not reflect the final outcome for any particular homebuyer or property. The actual borrower funds needed at closing are based on current interest rates, current charges associated with the loan, borrower date of birth, the property sales price and standard closing costs. Interest rates and loan fees are subject to change without notice. No principal or interest s will be required as long as one borrower occupies the home as their primary residence and adheres to all HUD guidelines of the loan. The cost of any reverse mortgage loan depends upon how long the loan is kept and how much the property appreciates in value. Generally, the effective cost decreases across the life of the loan. The HECM loan balance becomes due and payable when the last remaining person on the mortgage no longer maintains the property as their principle residence. Some examples of this could be when the last remaining borrower passes away, if you sell the home, or you are no longer using the home as your primary residence. You must also remain current with taxes, insurance, and any homeowner association fees, as well as maintain the property.

4 3 Ways to Pay: Which best fits your needs? When purchasing a home, many people only know about the common ways in which to finance a home: paying cash or qualifying for a fixed rate traditional mortgage loan. If you are paying cash for your next home, you may be depleting your savings. With a traditional fixed rate loan, you will pay a lot in interest over the life of the loan, perhaps unnecessarily. With the HECM for Purchase program both of these problems are solved. By traditionally putting down 35-50% of the purchase price, you keep a good portion of your savings and never make a monthly mortgage again. Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages to each option, which one do you think would be the best for you and your future? Option 1: Purchase with Cash ADVANTAGES: No monthly mortgage s Available equity in the event of an emergency Strong negotiating power when purchasing a home Option 3: HECM for Purchase If you or your spouse is 62 years or older, then the FHA-insured HECM for Purchase program can help you tailor your mortgage to fit your personal, familial, physical, and lifestyle needs. This financing option saves you money by not having to make a monthly mortgage each month. In addition, there are many other added benefits to this program: Compared to traditional financing, you can increase your income each month by not having to make a mortgage Under many circumstances, you don t have to wait until your current home sells to use the program Purchase your next home without depleting a large portion of your life savings Interest gets added to loan balance Closing costs are included in the mortgage The HECM is the only program that if the home ever sells for less than the loan balance, neither the borrower nor the estate is responsible for paying the difference Use money saved from no monthly mortgage s to invest, travel, spend on family, or any unexpected expenses Similar to paying cash, you are only responsible for paying property taxes, insurance, and any homeowner association fees, as well as maintain the property. However, with paying cash, you would put more money upfront for the same benefits as the HECM for Purchase DISADVANTAGES: Less liquidity, having a mortgage frees up cash you may have otherwise invested in the purchase of a home Home could lose value and end up being worth less than you paid Unable to take advantage of tax deductions Option 2: Traditional Fixed Rate Mortgage ADVANTAGES: Less money upfront initially Principal and interest never change, keeping your monthly mortgage the same each month Able to take advantage of tax deductions DISADVANTAGES: You have recurring monthly mortgage s, which can be a burden if income suddenly changes, or you are on a fixed income Home could lose value and end up being worth less than you paid Your home won t be paid off for 30 years (or less, but still a long time!) 5 6

Option 2: 30 Year Fixed Mortgage $60,000 down $1146/month 4% interest rate Option 3: HECM for Purchase $138,552 down No monthly mortgage Option 4: Rent Traditional first months rent deposit - $2,000* $2000/month* *average rent of comparable homes Do I Qualify for the HECM for Purchase Loan Program? Qualifications: You, or your spouse, must be 62 or older. If either you or your spouse is 62 or older, then you may qualify for the HECM for Purchase program. If one of you is 62 and the other one is younger, you can still qualify. The down will be based of the age of the youngest person. Must be used on your primary residence only. Many of our clients wish to purchase a home closer to family in a different state or wish to retire in a different state than they are currently living. That is no problem! We simply need to ensure that your new residence will be your primary residence. Residency can be established during the loan process, or shortly after closing on your HECM loan. Where can we get our down from? Per HUD guidelines, down funds must come from your verified assets, including, but not limited to traditional bank accounts, investments, 401K, CD s, money market account, money made from sale of current home, or a gift. Disqualifications: And how you can overcome them... Cost of purchasing a $300,000 home over a period of 30 years by using different financing options RENT (Total: $722,000) Do you have unpaid federal liens? If you have an unpaid federal government debt such as taxes or liens, the balance will need to be resolved before qualifying for a HECM for Purchase loan. Have you experienced a Foreclosure, Short Sale, or Deed in Lieu? There is a 3 year waiting period required after any of these events occur before you are able to use the HECM for Purchase program. This is not a clock that starts now. For example, if you experienced a foreclosure 2 years ago, you would only have to wait one more year before qualifying for the HECM for Purchase program. 30 YR FIXED (Total: $472,560) PURCHASE WITH CASH (Total: $300,000) Do you currently have an FHA mortgage? The HECM for Purchase is an FHA government insured mortgage loan. You cannot have two active FHA mortgages at the same time. If you currently have an FHA mortgage on your existing home, and are planning to sell that home, the solution is easy. Once the home is sold, you are released from that FHA loan and are able to take advantage of the HECM for Purchase to finance your new home.

You must also remain current with taxes, insurance, and any homeowner association fees. 8

6 What types of homes are eligible? Many types of one to four unit properties are eligible for the HECM for Purchase program. Such properties include single family homes, condos and PUD s (Planned Unit Development). There are certain requirements regarding each of these property types and all must meet FHA minimum property standards. Some of the highlights for each property type include: SINGLE FAMILY HOME Can be an existing home or new construction** CONDO Condo must be in an FHA approved community If the community is not FHA approved, steps can be taken to get the community FHA approved PUD (Planned Unit Development) Required to own the land and not just the dwelling Homeowner association dues should be expected and traditionally cover maintenance of common community areas **NEW CONSTRUCTION Must have Certificate of Occupancy (CO) prior to official loan application Certificate of Occupancy (CO) is issued by the local government agency certifying the structure is compliant and suitable for occupancy. TYPES OF PROPERTIES INELIGIBLE There are a few common types of homes that are not eligible for the HECM for Purchase program. Some of these property types include second homes, vacation homes, manufactured homes and rental or investment properties. The property must be your primary residence in order to qualify for the HECM for Purchase program. Homeowner Responsibilities The HECM for Purchase program has so many great benefits. You must be wondering, if I am not making a monthly mortgage, is there anything I will be responsible for? There are only a few items you will need to take care of once you move into your new home after closing. These include: Property Taxes Homeowners Insurance Flood Insurance (if applicable) 9 Homeowners Association Dues (if applicable) General maintenance of the home How does the HECM for Purchase protect me? There are so many benefits to using the HECM for Purchase program to buy your next home. Some of the unique features of this loan are the many ways in which you, your spouse, and your future are protected. Consider the following safeguards that have been built into the HECM for Purchase program: 1. Asset Protection. As long as you maintain the home as your primary residence and remain current on taxes, insurance and any homeowner s association dues, the you will be protected through the Mutual Mortgage Insurance (MMI). 2. Independent HUD Counseling. HUD requires every prospective HECM for Purchase borrower to complete a counseling session with an independent third-party HECM counselor. The counselor is there to make sure that all of your questions can be answered, you understand all of your options and you feel comfortable with the process. 3. You Remain on the Title. The title to the home always remains with the borrower. In many cases, it is even possible to close the loan within a trust. 4. You Can Always Remain in Your Home. You or your spouse can live in the home until the last borrower vacates. So if your spouse passes away, then you can remain in the home. It is important to know that an extended rehab or nursing home stay, generally for a year or more, for the sole surviving borrower, can lead to the loan being called due and payable. 5. No pre- penalty. Although the loan is not due and is typically not paid until the senior permanently moves out, there are no additional costs or fees if the loan is paid off at any point prior to that. 6. No maturity date. The HECM for Purchase loan is put into place to last the homeowner s lifetime. With no monthly mortgage s and the right to occupy the home until the last senior moves out (or the home is sold), the program provides significant protection against unanticipated future circumstances. 10

7 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS WHAT HAPPENS IF ONE PERSON IS 62 AND THE OTHER IS 70? The age of the youngest borrower is used. IF MY SPOUSE IS 62, BUT I AM YOUNGER, CAN WE STILL QUALIFY? Yes, only one of you needs to be 62 in order to take advantage of all of the benefits of the HECM for Purchase program. HOW IS THE HECM DOWN PAYMENT DETERMINED? The down is determined through a HUD based formula that includes the purchase price of the home, the age of the youngest borrower, and the current interest rate. IS THE INTEREST RATE ON THE LOAN FIXED OR ADJUSTABLE? The interest rate can be either fixed or variable, you choose. WHO OWNS THE TITLE TO THE HOME? You and your spouse are the legal owners (or title holders), not the bank or anyone else. CAN I APPLY FOR A HECM EVEN IF I DID NOT BUY MY PRESENT HOME WITH AN FHA MORTGAGE LOAN? Yes, you may apply for a HECM regardless of whether or not you purchased your home with an FHA insured mortgage. WHAT HAPPENS TO THE PROPERTY UPON OUR PASSING? Keeping a home in the family is very important to some of our borrowers and their heirs. The home can be purchased from the estate, by paying off the HECM loan balance. If your heirs wish to sell the home, the HECM loan balance must be repaid. Any money made from the sale of the home beyond that belongs to your spouse or estate and can be transferred to heirs. In addition, no debt is passed along to the estate or heirs. WHAT TYPE OF HOMEBUYER IS THE BEST FIT FOR THE HECM FOR PURCHASE? The HECM program is being used by a wide variety of homeowners. The HECM is perfect for financially responsible people who want to free up their money to invest in other ways. A homeowner who has good credit and significant assets is a great candidate for the HECM program. 11 FAQ S (continued) WHAT IS THE HECM COUNSELING CERTIFICATE? The Counseling Certificate is what you receive to show that you have completed your counseling session with an independent third-party counselor over the phone. FHA requires that each applicant complete a counseling session to confirm your understanding of the HECM for Purchase program. WHAT IF I DECIDE TO SELL MY HOUSE IN 10 YEARS AND THE MARKET VALUE OF THE HOUSE IS LESS THAN WHAT I OWE FOR THE HOME? AM I RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DIFFERENCE? The FHA non-recourse clause governing the HECM for Purchase program states that the home is the only asset securing the loan. If the market value of your home drops significantly and you are unable to sell your home for what you owe, you have no personal liability for difference of the loan balance. Any deficit will be paid by FHA to the lender. WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW IF I AM BUILDING A NEW HOME INSTEAD OF PURCHASING AN EXISTING? When it comes to using the HECM for Purchase program for new construction, HUD requires that a Certificate of Occupancy (CO) must be obtained prior to starting a HECM for Purchase loan application. The Certificate of Occupancy (CO) is issued by the local government agency certifying the structure is compliant and is suitable for occupancy. IS MY CREDIT SCORE A FACTOR WHEN GETTING APPROVED FOR THE HECM PROGRAM? During the loan process, a credit report will be pulled, but your credit score is not a factor for approval because no mortgage s are being made. A lender is only looking for things such as federal liens. WHAT DOCUMENTATION IS NEEDED FOR THE HECM? The same documentation you would need for any mortgage loan. Income and other assets will need to be verified through the proper documentation. If the down is a gift, a paper trail documenting that transaction will need to be provided. CAN YOU REFINANCE WITH THE HECM PROGRAM? Yes, if you currently live in your dream home and would like to increase your monthly cash flow by not having a monthly mortgage, refinancing with the HECM program is a great option. 12
