Finance of America Reverse Adds HomeSafe® Select Offering in FloridaFinance of America Reverse LLC ("FAR"), one of the largest reverse mortgage originators in the US and a leading provider of retirement loan products, today announced the launch of its HomeSafe® Select offering in Florida, the only proprietary reverse mortgage product in the US offering a line of credit. This latest launch rounds out availability of FAR's full proprietary suite of products in Florida, joining the fixed-rate HomeSafe® Standard and breakthrough HomeSafe® Second. Florida ranks among the top five states utilizing the innovative HomeSafe® solution, and the demand for HomeSafe® Select has been building in anticipation of this launch. HomeSafe® Select is a proprietary HELOC reverse mortgage loan offered exclusively by FAR and its approved partners. It is a non-FHA adjustable rate reverse mortgage that offers up to 75% of loan proceeds as an open-ended line of credit. Like all reverse mortgages, HomeSafe® Select is a non-recourse loan. "As people evaluate how home equity fits into their retirement plans, they are increasingly choosing to only draw the funds they need initially and access the remainder through a line of credit. Doing so allows homeowners to protect their equity longer so that they have more options well into the future as their needs change. We are proud to remain at the forefront of the industry as the only provider of this type of proprietary financial tool, which represents a tremendous opportunity for suitable borrowers," said Kristen Sieffert, president of FAR. The HomeSafe® Select is the only proprietary reverse mortgage product in the US that offers a line of credit allowing the borrower the option to tap into and leverage part of their home equity while at the same time creating the flexibility to access additional funds as needed. For example, with HomeSafe® Select, a 78-year old in Florida with a $1,000,000 home value and a $250,000 balance on the first mortgage may be able to receive $240,715 in proceeds after paying off the first mortgage, versus receiving approximately $185,000 with the HECM, and the borrower could choose to leave those proceeds in a line of credit. 1 "HomeSafe® Select is an attractive alternative to a HELOC particularly since there is no monthly mortgage payment required. Through this offering -- and the industry's most comprehensive suite of proprietary products -- we are greatly enhancing options for borrowers in Florida, particularly in pockets of the state with a concentration of high-home values," added Jonathan Scarpati, vice president of wholesale at FAR. Additional Features of HomeSafe® Select include:
HomeSafe® Select will be available through FAR's retail and wholesale channels to borrowers in Florida which joins California as the only two states nationwide where this unique product is also available. FAR is actively working on bringing HomeSafe® Select to market in other key states with aims to launch a new offering within the next quarter.

Moreover, Florida's top 3 zip codes boast seven-figure median sale prices: 3

When the loan is due and payable, some or all of the equity in the property that is the subject of the reverse mortgage no longer belongs to borrowers, who may need to sell the home or otherwise repay the loan with interest from other proceeds. FAR may charge an origination fee, , closing costs and servicing fees (added to the balance of the loan). The balance of the loan grows over time and FAR charges interest on the balance. Borrowers are responsible for paying property taxes, homeowner's insurance, maintenance, and related taxes (which may be substantial). We do not establish an escrow account for disbursements of these payments. A set-aside account can be set up to pay taxes and insurance and may be required in some cases. Borrowers must occupy home as their primary residence and pay for ongoing maintenance; otherwise the loan becomes due and payable. The loan also becomes due and payable (and the property may be subject to a tax lien, other encumbrance, or foreclosure) when the last borrower, or eligible non-borrowing surviving spouse, dies, sells the home, permanently moves out, defaults on taxes, insurance payments, or maintenance, or does not otherwise comply with the loan terms. Interest is not tax-deductible until the loan is partially or fully repaid.
