FHA approval

Becoming a correspondent with the Wholesale Division of Financial Freedom means you are part of a team that makes up the nations largest and most financially sound reverse mortgage lenders. You will also be able to capitalize on the years of experience we have in the industry for we were one of the original providers of the reverse mortgage program in 1988.

As a correspondent lender, reverse mortgages provide not only additional income, but also the knowledge that you can truly make a difference in the life of a senior.

Financial Freedom will provide you with access to the type of tools that only a national lender can provide. The most important of these tools is the outstanding service and support we provide to all our correspondent lenders.

Our National Correspondent program provides:
  • Training in all aspects of reverse mortgage lending
  • Full instruction and materials available on how to successfully market
  • Ongoing support with dedicated staff
  • Responsive underwriters with quick turn-around time
  • Broadcast fax of rate changes and industry news
  • All state specific documents needed for origination and closing
  • Lender referral network
  • Hands on closing assistance
  • Table funding
  • Submission of Mortgage Insurance
  • Sponsorship for FHA Correspondent Approval (if needed)
  • New opportunity for non-FHA approved mortgage brokers
  • Access to Jumbo reverse mortgage products offered by Financial Freedom (not yet available in all states)

FHA approval is required to originate reverse mortgages. If you have approval, you should have a 10 digit ID #. If you do not have approval with FHA / HUD, we can assist you with this matter. The requirements are attached for your review. As an approved sponsor, we can streamline the process by reviewing the required documentation and submitting to HUD on your behalf.
