Reverse Mortgage History
• 1961 First reverse mortgage (RM) loan made by Deering Savings & Loan in Maine
• 1984 First open-ended, risk pooling RM offered in New Jersey• 1987 Congress passes FHA RM insurance proposal
Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac announce intention to purchase RM• 1989 HUD selects 50 lenders by lottery to make FHA-insured RM• 1990 Congress increases FHA insurance authority to 25,000 loans • 1995 HUD publishes regulations allowing Direct Endorsement
lenders underwriting authority on HECM loans• FNMA introduces the conventional RM – “Home Keeper”• ABA House of Delegates adopted a resolution that supports
continued development of RMs as a viable option for older homeowners
Common Misconceptions
• “The lender takes the house”– Homeowner retains full ownership– Reverse Mortgage is a loan
• “I can be thrown out of my home”– Homeowner can stay in home until loan maturity event
occurs
• “I can owe more than my home is worth”– Homeowner can never owe more than value of home
• “My heirs will be against it”– Experience demonstrates heirs are in favor of Reverse
Mortgages
Reverse Mortgage Basics
• Borrower will always retain title • NO income or credit qualifications• NO monthly mortgage payments
• NO repayment is due until they sell the house or move out permanently
• Interest may be tax-deductible upon loan repayment
• Proceeds are tax-free
Reverse Mortgages are non-recourse loans that allow senior homeowners age 62 years of age or older to convert home equity into cash

FHA HECMFHA HECM
• FHA Mortgage Insurance (MIP)– 2% charged at loan closing, financed into loan
balance
• FHA guarantees that the borrower will receive all payments that are due them as long as they live in the property
• Ensures that borrowers, their estate, or heirs are never liable for more than the market value of their home (non-recourse)
8
Consumer Education Requirements:
• Required for all borrowers prior to application process
• Safeguard for borrower: non-biased 3rd party ensures borrowers understand how RMs work, costs, benefits and options available
• Face to face session with provider in home or office and optional telephone counseling if requested
• HECM Counseling certificate will be issued to borrower
9
Eligibility Requirements:
• Homeowners age 62 and older• Property title holder• Clear title at closing
– Any existing liens must be satisfied at closing with loan proceeds

Payment Plan Options:

• Lump Sum: All available funds may be received at disbursement
• Combinations: Any combination of the above is allowed. Payment plan may also be changed after closing at any time
12
Reverse Mortgage Interest Rates:Reverse Mortgages charge interest at a monthly, annual or semi-
annual adjustable rate, depending on which loan is selected:
Index - 1 year T-bill (FHA - HECM) – 5.02% Index - 1 month CD (FNMA - Home Keeper) – 6.75% Index - 6 month LIBOR (Jumbo - Cash Account) – 8.27%
– Which means the interest rate that is charged can change periodically
– However, this does NOT affect the amount of money borrower(s) receive
– Rather this only affects the amount that will be required to be paid back when the loan becomes due and payable
