Name of loan
Overview
A Reverse Mortgage, also known as a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM), allows homeowners 62 and older to convert a portion of their home equity into cash without selling their home or making monthly mortgage payments. It’s a powerful financial tool for seniors who want to supplement retirement income, cover medical expenses, or simply enjoy more financial flexibility while staying in the home they love.
How It Works
Instead of you making monthly payments to a lender, the lender pays you—in a lump sum, monthly disbursement, line of credit, or a combination. The loan balance (plus interest) is repaid when the home is sold, the homeowner permanently moves out, or the last borrower passes away.
Key Features
✔ No Monthly Mortgage Payments – You remain responsible for property taxes, homeowners insurance, and upkeep of your home, but you won’t have a monthly mortgage payment.
✔ Multiple Payout Options – Choose lump sum, monthly installments, line of credit, or a blend of these.
✔ Stay in Your Home – Maintain ownership and continue living in your property.
✔ Federally Insured (HECM) – Backed by the Federal Housing Administration for added security and consumer protections.
✔ Flexible Use of Funds – Cover living expenses, healthcare costs, home renovations, or simply enhance your retirement lifestyle.
Eligibility & Guidelines
✔ Age Requirement: At least 62 years old.
✔ Primary Residence: The home must be your primary residence.
✔ Equity: You must have substantial equity in the property.
✔ Counseling: HUD-approved counseling is required to ensure you fully understand the program.
✔ Financial Assessment: Lenders review your ability to pay taxes, insurance, and maintain the home.
Ideal For
✔ Homeowners who want to supplement retirement income without selling their home.
✔ Seniors wishing to eliminate an existing mortgage and free up monthly cash flow.
✔ Individuals planning to age in place while tapping into their home equity.
