There are many Common Idaho FHA (HECM) Reverse Mortgage questions along with the many myths pertaining to the loan. So I wanted to outline some of the most basic questions below:

Q: What are the Borrower Requirements for an Idaho (HECM) Loan ?

A: – Be 62 years of age or older
- Own the property outright or have a small mortgage balance
- Occupy the property as your principal residence
- Not be delinquent on any federal debt
- You must participate in a consumer information session given by an approved HECM counselor

Q: How do I know how much of a mortgage I qualify for?

A: Mortgage amounts are based on:

- Age of the youngest borrower
- Current Interest rate
- Lesser of appraised value or the Idaho HECM FHA mortgage Limit

Q: Do I have to have a job or income to qualify? What are the financial requirements?

A: – No income or credit qualifications are required of the borrower
- No repayment as long as the property is your principal residence
- Closing costs may be financed in the mortgage

Q: What kind of properties are allowed?

A: – Single family home or 1-4 unit home with one unit occupied by the borrower
- HUD-approved condominium
- Manufactured home that meets FHA requirements

Q: When do I have to Repay the loan?

A: An Idaho HECM Reverse Mortgage must be repaid in full when you die or sell the home. The loan also becomes due and payable if:

- You do not pay property taxes or hazard insurance
- You permanently move to a new principal residence
- You, or the last borrower, fail to live in the home for 12 months in a row. An example of this situation would be if you (or the last borrower) were to have a 12-month or longer stay in a nursing home.
- You allow the property to deteriorate and do not make necessary repairs.
