How an H4P Can Help You

Historically, there have only been two ways to buy a new home: in all cash or with a mortgage that requires monthly principal and interest payments.

Now there’s a third way: Pay using a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage for Purchase (H4P) loan, which is just for homebuyers aged 62+. You can buy a new home by putting as little as 45% to 70%* of the purchase price down from your own funds — the remainder is funded by the H4P loan.

While an H4P is a mortgage, the borrower is not required to make monthly mortgage payments. That’s right, the borrower can defer repayment of the loan balance so long as they live in the home and pay the property-related taxes, insurance, and upkeep expenses.

So, it feels a lot like an all-cash payment, except you get to keep more of your retirement assets (e.g., keep more of the proceeds from the sale of your current home) to use as you wish, compared to paying in all cash.

In short, an H4P loan offers homebuyers the best of both worlds.
