The team's highest-complexity product is the FHA Home Equity Conversion Mortgage, a federally backed reverse-mortgage instrument requiring HUD-mandated counseling certification, a T-bill-indexed adjustable rate tied to the one-year CMT, and actuarial principal-limit factors calculated from the youngest borrower's age and the property's FHA-appraised value.
