Program Overview

• The HECM For Purchase Product was designed to allow seniors to

purchase a new principal residence and obtain a reverse mortgage within

a single transaction by eliminating the need for a second closing

• FHA defines “HECM For Purchase” as a real estate purchase where title

to the property is transferred to the HECM borrower, which the borrower

will occupy as a principal residence, and, at the time of closing, the HECM

first and second liens will be the only liens against the property
