A reverse mortgage lets homeowners 62 and older convert home equity into tax-free funds — with no monthly mortgage payments required while you live in the home.

A reverse mortgage pays you — instead of you paying a lender.
You keep making payments on property taxes, insurance, and maintenance, but the mortgage itself requires no monthly payment while you reside in the home.
Reverse mortgage proceeds are generally not considered taxable income. Funds can be taken as a lump sum, line of credit, or monthly disbursements.
The Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) is FHA-insured and carries federally mandated consumer protections. Proprietary jumbo programs are available for higher-value homes.
Common questions from homeowners exploring reverse mortgage options.
Homeowners 62 or older who occupy the property as their primary residence. The home must have sufficient equity to cover the reverse mortgage balance. No income or employment verification required.
No. You retain title and ownership. The lender places a lien on the property, which is repaid when you sell, move out, or pass away — not while you live there.
The amount depends on your age, current interest rates, and the home’s appraised value. Older borrowers generally qualify for a higher percentage of their home’s value. Call (833) 350-9185 to model your scenario.
The loan becomes due. Your heirs can repay the balance and keep the home, sell the home and pay off the balance, or walk away (FHA insurance covers any shortfall).
HECM loans have an upfront MIP (mortgage insurance premium), origination fee, and closing costs — most of which can be financed into the loan. A counseling session with an HUD-approved counselor is required before application.
