The Hidden Costs of a Home Equity Investment

Home equity investment agreements (also called home equity sharing agreements) are designed to provide homeowners with quick access to capital. But the trade-off can be expensive and create long-term financial obligations that many homeowners did not fully understand at the time of signing.

Here is how HEI agreements work and why they can become painful.

Use a Reverse Mortgage to Pay Off Your Home Equity Investment

Sunshine State Home Loans offers a proprietary reverse mortgage that may allow you to access enough equity to pay off your HEI balance in full.

The reverse mortgage provides the funds needed to settle the HEI obligation. Once the HEI is paid off, you are no longer sharing your home's appreciation. No monthly mortgage payments* on the reverse mortgage. Available at age 55, seven years before the FHA program minimum.

Subject to property and borrower approval. Borrowers remain responsible for property taxes, homeowners insurance, HOA dues, and special assessments.

Why Florida Homeowners Use a Reverse Mortgage to Exit an HEI

Our proprietary reverse mortgage was designed for homeowners 55 and older who want to eliminate the costs and obligations of a home equity investment agreement.

Pay Off Your HEI Balance

Reverse mortgage proceeds may be used to pay off the HEI company in full, ending appreciation sharing. You retain 100 percent of any future appreciation on your home once the HEI obligation is settled.

Available Starting at Age 55

The FHA reverse mortgage program requires borrowers to be at least 62. Our proprietary reverse mortgage is available starting at age 55, seven years earlier. If you need to exit your HEI before age 62, we may be able to help.

No Monthly Mortgage Payments*

You will have no monthly mortgage payment obligation on the reverse mortgage. You remain responsible for property taxes, homeowners insurance, HOA dues, and special assessments. As long as you meet these obligations, the loan will not be called due.

Line of Credit Never Expires

Our reverse mortgage line of credit has no expiration date. Unlike the FHA program which limits access to a 10 year draw period, your line remains open as long as you own the home and meet loan obligations.

720 Plus Credit Score Waiver

If your credit score is 720 or above you may qualify for our Residual Income Waiver which eliminates income documentation requirements. You must also have no force placed homeowners insurance in the last 12 months and no late payments on property taxes or HOA dues in the last 24 months.
