Smartfi Home Loans BBB Business Review

*Borrower must pay property taxes, insurance, any HOA fees and maintain the property.
**Age requirements differ by product and state.

This material is not from HUD or FHA and was not reviewed, approved or issued by HUD, FHA or any government agency. The company is not affiliated with or acting on behalf of or at the direction of HUD/FHA or any other government agency.

Charges such as an origination fee, mortgage insurance premiums, closing costs and/or servicing fees, if applicable, may be assessed and will be added to the loan balance. As long as you comply with the terms of the loan (e.g., property must be principal residence of at least one borrower), you retain title until you sell or transfer the property. You are responsible for paying property taxes, insurance and maintenance. Failing to pay these amounts may cause the loan to become immediately due and/or subject to the property to a tax lien, other encumbrance, or foreclosure. The loan balance grows over time, and interest is added to that balance. Interest on a reverse mortgage is not deductible from your income tax until you repay all or part of the interest on the loan. At the maturity of the loan, the equity may no longer belong to you. The lender will have a claim against your property and you, or your heirs may need to sell the property or use other assets to repay the loan in order to retain the property. The loan becomes due and payable upon failure to comply with loan terms or when the last borrower leaves the home.

This information is not tax advice. Please consult a tax advisor regarding your specific situation. Not all products and options are available in all states. Terms subject to change without notice. Certain conditions and fees apply. This is not a loan commitment or offer to enter into an agreement. All loans are subject to approval, including age, property, and determination of ability to pay taxes, insurance, and maintenance.
