HomeSafe Second is a proprietary second-lien reverse mortgage designed for older homeowners 55+ who want to access a portion of their home equity without refinancing their existing first mortgage and without adding a new required monthly mortgage payment. HomeSafe Second is a reverse second mortgage that allows homeowners to unlock equity while keeping their current first mortgage in place.
This can be especially helpful for homeowners who have a low interest rate on their current mortgage and do not want to replace it with a new higher-rate loan. The existing first mortgage remains in place, and HomeSafe Second is added as a second lien behind it. Unlike a traditional HELOC or home equity loan, HomeSafe Second does not require a new monthly mortgage payment on the second mortgage.
Interest accrues over time, and the borrower must continue to meet the loan obligations, including living in the property as their primary residence, paying property taxes, maintaining homeowners insurance, keeping the home in good condition, and staying current on any existing first mortgage.
Best fit may include homeowners who:
• Want to preserve a low first-mortgage rate
• Need access to home equity
• Do not want to add another monthly mortgage payment
• Plan to remain in the home
• Have meaningful equity but limited monthly cash flow
