Big news for the “Empire State” of New York! We’re pleased to share that borrowers can now utilize a reverse mortgage for purchasing a home! This is a great option for “buying up” or keeping key cash liquidity vs paying all cash.

Plus, FHA now allows borrower concessions up to 6% of the Principal Limit. So, what does that mean for your borrower? When discussing the HECM product, these interested party contributions [or concessions] may include REALTORS®, builders, developers, lenders, and others with an interest in the transaction. Now, interested parties may contribute up to 6% of the sales price toward the borrower’s origination fees, closing costs, prepaid items, and more.
