HomeSafe Second - Frank Chandler

A Second Lien Reverse Mortgage That Puts You First!

Learn How It Works

Many older homeowners turn to reverse mortgages as a way to tap into their home equity—boosting retirement cash flow, covering rising expenses, or simply gaining peace of mind—without the need to sell the home they love.

Traditional reverse mortgages typically require paying off your current mortgage first, often using loan proceeds. But what if you want to keep that low-rate mortgage?

That’s where HomeSafe Second comes in.

What Is HomeSafe Second?

HomeSafe Second is a second-lien mortgage behind a traditional forward mortgage or Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) loan.

HomeSafe Second allows you to unlock home equity without refinancing your first lien or adding a new monthly mortgage payment. You’ll still need to cover property taxes, insurance, and existing mortgage payments.

HomeSafe Second is an attractive alternative to HELOC or Home Equity Loan that gives you the flexibility to maintain your current mortgage terms while putting your home’s equity to work in a cash flow friendly way.

Key Benefits of HomeSafe Second:

1. Access Your Home Equity Without Refinancing
With HomeSafe Second, you can keep your existing low-rate mortgage while unlocking a portion of your home equity as a lump sum of cash without refinancing or adding a new monthly mortgage payment.*
2. Flexible Repayment Options
Like a traditional mortgage, HomeSafe Second loan must be repaid with interest and fees. However, as long as you meet the loan terms, repayment can be deferred until you no longer live in the home or pass away. This means borrowers have far more repayment flexibility to improve cash flow and maintain retirement assets.
3. Non-Recourse Protection
Once the loan is due and payable, the sale of the home on the open market typically satisfies the loan. If the sale price isn’t enough to cover the balance, neither borrowers nor their heirs are liable to pay the difference (the “non-recourse feature”).

But, if the home sells for more than the remaining loan balance, the borrower or their heirs pocket the difference!

Alternatively, heirs can keep the home by paying off or refinancing the remaining liens.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does HomeSafe Second work?

Typically, the process has five key steps:

Be a homeowner with a first mortgage in good standing
Contact Fairway to determine eligibility and explore how a second mortgage can help
Complete a third-party counseling session to ensure it’s a good fit and receive a home appraisal
Receive your funds in a lump sum, which can be used for nearly any purpose
Defer repayment while you live in the home and meet loan obligations, like paying property taxes and insurance

What are the pros and the cons of HomeSafe Second?

Pros

No obligatory monthly mortgage payments, so long the borrower lives in the home and meets the loan requirements, like paying critical property charges
Funds are generally not considered income and are generally tax free**
The borrower retains the title for so long as they meet the loan obligations
Generally doesn’t affect Social Security or Medicare benefits**

Cons

Unpaid loan balance grows over time with interest
Eligibility to qualify for needs-based programs may be affected**
Typically has higher upfront costs compared to traditional mortgages, Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOCs), and Home Equity Loans (HELs)
Can only be used if there is a qualifying first lien in place

How is a HomeSafe Second loan repaid?

Typically, when the loan becomes due and payable, the unpaid balance of a HomeSafe Second loan is satisfied by the home’s sale on the open market. If the sale price isn’t enough to cover the balance, neither borrowers nor their heirs are liable to pay the difference. If the home’s sale exceeds the remaining balance, the borrower or their heirs pocket the difference. Heirs can keep the home by paying off or refinancing the remaining liens.

When does HomeSafe Second become due and payable?

With a HomeSafe Second loan, repayment is deferred until the last remaining borrower passes away or permanently leaves the home. It can also become due and payable if the borrower doesn’t fulfill their loan obligations, like failing to pay property taxes in a timely manner.

What first lien loan types are ineligible for HomeSafe second?

No. Certain first lien types are ineligible for HomeSafe Second, such as:

Interest-only
Balloon payment due at maturity
Negatively amortizing
Private lender
Rehab loan during the construction/draw period
Texas 50(a)(6)
Reverse mortgage, including HECM
