You never have to repay the loan as long as you live in your Texas home and you can choose to receive the cash disbursements as monthly income, a line of credit, or a lump sum. Also, because the FHA/HUD program is backed by the US government, you will never owe more than the value of your home – even if you receive monthly payments for the next 20 years. Finally, you keep title to your property – it stays part of your estate.
