Help Retirees Maximize Their Purchasing Power
With your help and the Kanyur Reverse Team, retirees can increase their homebuying power up to 200% — without having to pay monthly mortgage payments. Instead, they simply have to cover property charges like taxes, insurance and upkeep.
How It Works
Many retirees would like to move, but some are still making mortgage payments, and others are fixed owning their home outright.
With a reverse mortgage loan for purchase (also called HECM for purchase loan), your client sells their existing home. They then take out a reverse mortgage on the homes they wish to purchase and combine that with the proceeds of their home sale to cover the down payment (along with additional funds if necessary).

This information is provided as a guideline and does not reflect the final outcome for any particular homebuyer or property. The actual Reverse Mortgage available funds are based on current interest rates, current charges associated with loan, borrower date of birth (or non-borrowing spouse, if applicable), the property sales price and standard closing cost. Interest rates and loan fees are subject to change without notice. Following the closing of the home purchase, no further principal or interest payments will be required as long as one borrower occupies the home as their primary residence and adheres to all HUD guidelines of loan. Borrower must remain current on property taxes, homeowner’s insurance (and homeowner association dues, if applicable), and home must be maintained.
Then What Happens?

Frequently Asked Questions About…
Reverse Mortgages for Purchase
When a home is purchased with a reverse mortgage, will the loan be held on the existing home or the newly purchased home?
The reverse mortgage will be held on the newly purchased home as the primary residence. The down payment needed at closing is usually between 30%-70%.
Why is the down payment higher with a reverse mortgage?
The down payment is higher initially because the buyer will not be required to make monthly mortgage payments (except for taxes and insurance, and the home must be maintained). The advantage in cash flow over the years, combined with the ability to purchase a more expensive home, can more than justify the difference for many homebuyers.
How will the lender determine how much money is needed at closing?
The required down payment on the new home is determined by a number of factors, including the age or eligible non-borrowing spouse’s age (if applicable), current interest rates and the lesser of the home’s appraised value or purchase price.
What sources of funds (money) are allowed with the purchase of a home with a reverse mortgage?
The money must come from liquid assets (bank accounts, CDs, retirement accounts, etc.) or from the documented sale of other assets like the existing home.
