22 Reverse Mortgage for Purchase Up until Jan 2009, the Federally Insured Reverse Mortgage could not be used for the purchase of a new home. OPPORTUNITY!!!!!! 22

23 Purchase scenario Client contacts you to sell their home because they want to down size. They want to purchase a new home, but do not want to incur a new monthly payment. The normal solution would be to take the proceeds of their current home and use it all to pay cash for their new home. Mission accomplished… Right???? 23

24 The Reverse Mortgage Solution Instead of using all of the proceeds from their sale, use the Reverse Mortgage. Here are a few examples…. 24

25 The Reverse Mortgage Scenario #1 Proceeds from sale - $300,000 Purchase price of new home - $250,000 Appraised value of new home - $250,000 A 76 year old borrower could use the Reverse Mortgage to finance approx. $150k of purchase price (needs $100k for down payment; including closing costs). RESULT – Borrower buys new home, has no monthly payments, and gets to keep $200k in their pocket. 25

26 The Reverse Mortgage Scenario #2 Proceeds from sale - $300,000 Purchase price of new home - $625,000 Appraised value of new home - $625,000 A 76 year old borrower could use the Reverse Mortgage to finance approx. $375k of purchase price (needs $250k for down payment; including closing costs). RESULT – Borrower buys new home, has no monthly payments, and still gets to keep $50k in their pocket. 26

27 The Reverse Mortgage Scenario #3 Proceeds from sale - $300,000 Purchase price of new home - $250,000 Appraised value of new home - $250,000 A 76 year old borrower could use the Reverse Mortgage to finance approx. $150k of purchase price (needs $100k for down payment; including closing costs). RESULT – Borrower buys new home, has no monthly payments, and gets to keep $200k which is used to purchase a second/vacation home. 27
