Homeowners who need to access their equity often assume that a traditional home equity line of credit is their only option. We now offer another solution: a second-lien reverse mortgage designed to provide access to home equity without replacing an existing first mortgage.
Preserve the Existing First-Mortgage Rate
Many homeowners secured exceptionally favorable mortgage rates in previous years. Refinancing the entire balance to access equity could mean giving up that low rate for a significantly higher one. A second-lien reverse mortgage allows qualified homeowners to preserve their existing first mortgage while accessing additional funds through a separate second lien.
Improve Monthly Cash Flow
A traditional HELOC generally requires monthly payments. Our second-lien reverse mortgage may provide a more manageable alternative for qualified homeowners who want to access equity without adding another traditional monthly loan payment. This can be particularly valuable for homeowners seeking greater financial flexibility while remaining in their homes.
Access Between $50,000 and $1 Million
Qualified borrowers may be able to access substantial home equity based on their property, available equity, and other program requirements.
- Loan amounts from $50,000 to $1 million
- The ability to retain an existing first mortgage
- A second-lien structure
- Improved monthly cash-flow potential
- A non-recourse safety net if the home declines in value
Non-Recourse Protection
The program’s non-recourse feature provides an important layer of protection if the property depreciates. Subject to the terms of the loan, the borrower will not be personally responsible for a balance exceeding the home’s value. This protection can make the program an attractive option for homeowners concerned about future market conditions.
A Broader Home-Equity Solution
Not every homeowner is best served by the same product. A conventional HELOC may remain the right choice for some borrowers, while others may benefit from a second-lien reverse mortgage that preserves their first mortgage and improves monthly cash flow. By offering both solutions, we can evaluate the homeowner’s objectives and help determine which home-equity structure is better suited to their circumstances.
