The Basics

What Is a HECM Reverse Mortgage?

A Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) is an FHA-insured reverse mortgage for homeowners 62 and older. It lets you borrow against your equity without making monthly mortgage payments.

You keep the title to your home. The loan is repaid when you sell, move out permanently, or pass away.

FAQ

Reverse Mortgage Questions

Will I still own my home?

Yes. You keep the title. You must live in the home and keep up with property taxes, insurance, and maintenance.

How much can I receive?

It depends on the age of the youngest borrower, your home’s value, current rates, and FHA’s lending limit. Older borrowers with more equity receive more.

What happens to my home when I pass away?

Your heirs can sell the home and keep any remaining equity, or pay off the loan and keep the home. They never owe more than the home is worth.

Can I get a reverse mortgage if I still have a mortgage?

Yes. Part of the reverse mortgage proceeds pay off your existing loan, which removes that monthly payment.

Is there an option for homes above the FHA limit?

Yes. Private (jumbo) reverse mortgages are available for higher-value homes, and some start at age 55. Ask us which fits you.
