HECM Lenders – May 2016

HECM endorsements dropped dramatically in May to 3,646 loans – a full -14.1% decline from April. That’s the lowest monthly total since August 2014 as the industry struggled with the implementation of initial utilization restrictions.

  • Finance of America Reverse grew 22.2% to 330 loans
  • High Tech Lending increased 15.6% to 104 loans
  • RMF and Synergy One grew 5% and 2%, respectively
