This "Senior Friendly Home" is now available for someone wishing to buy this completely remodeled home in 
beautiful La Mesa, CA. If you are a senior (62 or older) you can buy the home without having to pay all cash and still avoid making any payments. I've done the purchasing math for someone to own this single story 3 bedroom, 2 bath house with all new appliances, paint and carpeting. It is currently listed for $449,000.
I've calculated how much money would be required to make the purchase using the FHA Reverse Mortgage for Home Purchase Program.
At age 65, the senior would need approximately $202,350 (44%) down and make zero monthly payments.
At age 70, the senior would need approximately $185,800 (40%) down and make zero monthly payments.
At age 75, the senior would need approximately $138,350 (37%) down and make zero monthly payments.
At age 80, the senior would need approximately $150,000 (33%) down and make zero monthly payments.
The current interest rate is fixed at 5.49% and the Government tacks on 0.5% per annum for the Mortgage Insurance Premium (MIP). I find it quite fascinating that seniors often feel that they have to leave Southern California where they want to live to move to someplace far less desirable but more affordable. When you are not making a mortgage payment by using a Reverse Mortgage for Home Purchase, it is possible to continue to live right here!
