Key Takeaways
- • Broker channel only for most residential products — compare through a licensed broker.
- • PATH Home Plan is a reverse-mortgage alternative for 55+ — see reverse mortgage at renewal.
- • Alt-A renewals may carry a premium vs. A-lenders — still shop monolines if your file has improved.
Compare with First National, Home Trust, and B-lender renewals. Use the switch-vs-stay calculator.
