Flex Payment Mortgage programs
Flex Payment Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECMs)*
With a Flex Payment Home Equity Conversion Mortgage you’ll never owe more than your home’s value, eliminating the risk of losing your home. Federal mortgage insurance premiums provide this safety net. Repayment occurs only when the last borrower passes away, moves out or sells the home, with the proceeds of the sale repaying the interest accrued on the loan. You can also choose to make occasional payments to manage the loan balance. Flex Payment Home Equity Conversion Mortgages can be used to refinance from a traditional loan, or to purchase a new home without mortgage payments.**
Flex Payment Home Equity Conversion Mortgage* refinancing
Refinance your existing loan into a Flex Payment Home Equity Conversion Mortgage to pay off your existing mortgage and/or eliminate mortgage payments. You can choose to set up a line of credit from the mortgage, receive regular payments from your home equity to supplement income, or receive a lump sum to pay off debt or large expenses. You can also refinance your existing Home Equity Conversion Mortgage to better terms as the market changes.
Flex Payment Home Equity Conversion Mortgages* for purchase
The Flex Payment Home Equity Conversion Mortgage for purchase allows you to use the proceeds from the sale of your current home (or other savings) as a down payment on your new home. Your Flex Payment Home Equity Conversion Mortgage covers the remaining balance. You can then choose to repay as much as you want or make no monthly payments.**

Important information:
At the end of the Flex Payment Mortgage loan term, some or all of the property’s equity won’t belong to the borrower, and they may need to sell or transfer the property to repay the proceeds of the Flex Payment Mortgage. Guild will add the applicable Flex Payment Mortgage origination fee, mortgage insurance premium, closing costs, or servicing fees to the balance of the loan which will grow, along with the interest, over time. Interest isn’t tax deductible until all or part of the loan is repaid. Failing to pay property taxes, insurance, and maintenance might subject the property to a tax lien, foreclosure, or other encumbrance since the borrower retains the title.
Fixed-rate and adjustable-rate home equity conversion mortgages (HECMs) are insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA.) Fixed-rate loans are distributed in a single lump sum with no future draws. Adjustable-rate mortgages offer five payment options and allow for future draws. The age of the youngest borrower determines the amount of funds available that can be received during the first 12-month period, subject to an initial disbursement limit.
These promotional materials were created by Guild Mortgage independent of any HUD, FHA or any other government agency participation. In some states, only one borrower must be at least 62 years old. The state of Texas requires that both borrowers are over the age of 62.
*Flex Payment Mortgage is Guild’s version of a reverse mortgage. HECMs are federally insured by the FHA.
**Borrower must maintain home as principal residence, pay all taxes, insurance, maintain the home, and comply with all other loan terms.
All loans subject to underwriter approval; terms and conditions may apply. Subject to change without notice. Always consult an accountant or tax advisor for full eligibility requirements on tax deduction.
