The HECM reverse mortgage application and related documents are used to determine the eligibility of the borrower and proposed mortgage transaction for FHA insurance endorsement. This submission is a consolidation of additional consumer notification requirements formerly approved under 2502-0534 and 2502-0546.
Reduction in burden hours is due to development of a new HECM system and because HUD projects significant lower loan origination volumes caused by (1) large lenders who exited the HECM business and (2) lower home values nation-wide which reduced consumer demand and eligibility for the program.
