Use a Reverse Mortgage to PURCHASE a new home!

You may be in luck! A HECM reverse for purchase allows eligible senior homeowners the ability to purchase a new home using their HECM loan proceeds with a transaction that only involves one set of closing costs. This is a huge advantage over buying a home and getting a reverse mortgage after, which would involve two different sets of closing costs.
