*There are some circumstances that will cause the loan to mature and the balance to become due and payable. The borrower(s) must continue to pay for property taxes and insurance and maintain the property to meet HUD standards or risk default. Credit is subject to age, minimum income guidelines, credit history, and property qualifications. Program rates, fees, terms and conditions are not available in all states and subject to change.
Homeowners must be 62 years of age or older and live in the home as their primary residence. Homes must meet FHA/HUD minimum property standards. Borrowers must maintain hazard and flood insurance premiums, property taxes, utilities and make any property repairs. Although there are no mandatory monthly principal and interest mortgage payments, interest accrues on the portion of the loan amount disbursed if no payments are made. Program rates, fees, terms and conditions are not available in all states and subject to change. At the conclusion of a reverse mortgage, the borrower must repay the loan and may have to sell the home or repay the loan from other proceeds. Charges will be assessed with the loan, including an origination fee, closing costs, mortgage insurance premiums and servicing fees. The loan balance grows over time and interest is charged on the outstanding balance. The borrower remains responsible for property taxes, hazard insurance and home maintenance, and failure to pay these amounts may result in the loss of the home. Interest on a reverse mortgage is not tax-deductible until the borrower makes partial or full re-payment.
