- Line of Credit Growth: Benefit from an automatic growth rate applied to the funds in your available line of credit. This growth rate is independent of future property valuations and is aligned with the current interest rate on your outstanding balance, plus a .50% monthly insurance rate.
- Government Insured: Enjoy peace of mind knowing your line of credit cannot be frozen or terms can be unchanged as long as you keep up with property taxes and homeowners insurance and use your home as your primary residence. The HECM line of credit offers a straightforward approach to accessing funds, ensuring you have the financial flexibility when you need it most.
Interest Rate Options
- Annual Adjustable Rate: Experience a balanced approach with our annual adjustable interest rate. It adjusts once a year, with each adjustment limited to a maximum of 2%, either upward or downward. The total variation over the loan’s lifetime is capped at 5% above the initial rate, ensuring predictability and safeguarding against extreme fluctuations.
- Monthly Adjustable Rate: Our monthly adjustable interest rate offers greater flexibility for those seeking more dynamic rate adjustments. This option adjusts monthly without periodic caps, allowing more frequent adaptation to market changes. The lifetime limit on this adjustment is set at 10% above the starting rate, providing a blend of flexibility and long-term security.
