Hazard Insurance
Insurance that protects insured homeowners from certain losses, such as vandalism, fire, storms and other natural occurrences. In California, homeowners normally have to pay more to cover damages resulting from earthquakes.

Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM)
In this type of loan, also called “reverse annuity mortgage”, instead of the borrower making payments to the lender, the lender makes payments to the borrower on a monthly basis. Meant for older homeowners, this mortgage allows them to convert home equity into cash without having to qualify for the loan on the basis of income, but rather on the value of the home. The borrower is not required to repay the loan until after they sell the property or pass away.

Home Equity Line of Credit (H.E.L.O.C)
A loan in second position that permits a borrower to get cash, up to a specified limit, against the equity of the home.

Home Inspection

Homeowners Association (HOA)
Also known as HOA, this is a nonprofit organization that manages the common areas of a condominium project or planned unit development (PUD) . In a condominium project, the HOA has no ownership interest in the common areas, whereas in a PUD project, it does have title to the common areas.

Homeowner's Insurance
An insurance policy for a home and its contents that provides protection for both hazard and personal liability insurance.

Homeowner's Warranty
An insurance policy that a buyer purchases usually upon purchasing a home, which covers certain repairs, should it become necessary over a specified period of time, usually 1 year. It is no uncommon for home sellers to offer a 1- year home warranty for the family that buys their home.

Housing Ratio
Also called the Payment-to-Income Ratio or Front-End Ratio, this is the ratio of the monthly mortgage payment to the borrower’s total gross monthly income.

HUD (Housing & Urban Development)

HUD Medium Income
The median family income for a specific county or metropolitan statistical area (MSA) that is estimated by the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD).


HUD-1 Settlement Statement
Also referred to as the closing statement or settlement sheet, the HUD-1, which is prepared by the U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development, is a document provided to a borrower at closing that provides an itemized listing of all the fees that are being paid by the borrower. Items that appear on the HUD-1 include loan fees, real estate commissions, points(if any), and initial escrow (impound) amounts. The totals at the bottom of the HUD-1 statement provide the seller's net proceeds and the buyer's total payment.

Hybrid Financing
The combination of two forms of funding, such as combining a convertible loan with a participation loan, which gives the lender the right to convert the debt to a 50% ownership in the real property at loan maturity.
