1 Available with Tenure-Based or Modified Tenure plans, so long as Borrower does not default on the loan. Borrower must maintain home as principal residence, pay
all property taxes, homeowner’s insurance, maintain the home, and comply with all other loan terms. With Modified Tenure plans, lender will set aside a specific
amount of money for a line of credit.
2 Borrowers are responsible for paying property taxes and homeowner’s insurance (which may be substantial). We do not establish an escrow account for
disbursements of these payments. A set-aside account can be set up to pay taxes and insurance and may be required in some cases.
