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. For first mortgages, Guild 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. For second mortgages, Guild will add the applicable Flex Payment Mortgage origination fee and closing costs 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 rights that are defined in the Mortgage. Insurance is required to have a mortgage, and if there is a gap in coverage then Guild may need to force place insurance.

First mortgages

Borrower must maintain home as principal residence, pay all taxes, insurance, and comply with all other loan terms. Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECMs) are federally insured by the FHA. Fixed-rate and adjustable-rate Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECMs) are insured by the 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. 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.

Second mortgages

Borrower must continue to pay their first mortgage and maintain home as principal residence, pay all taxes, insurance, and comply with all other loan terms. HomeSafe Second is available for borrowers currently making monthly mortgage payments on a traditional mortgage. State restrictions and eligibility requirements apply. Guild Mortgage is not affiliated with HomeSafe or Finance of America.
