Frequently asked

Do I have to make a monthly payment?
Not with HECM for Purchase — you put roughly 50% down and the rest is financed with no required monthly P&I payment.
Can I qualify on Social Security alone?
Yes — and we can supplement with asset depletion from your IRA/401(k)/brokerage.
What if I sell my northern home later?
We can recast the new loan with the equity proceeds to slash the payment without refinancing.
