What is a Reverse Mortgage? A reverse mortgage is a loan against your home’s equity that allows you to convert the equity in your home into cash
without having to repay the loan while you’re living in the home.
A Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM)
is a reverse mortgage that is insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), part of the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD). With a HECM, you have multiple options for receiving payments, with no limitations on how you
use the money. You can use a HECM to pay for medical expenses, house repairs, travel, or any other living expenses.
How do I qualify for a Reverse Mortgage? Before you can qualify for
a U.S. Government-insured reverse mortgage you must:
- Be at least 62 years of age and own your own home
- Own your home outright or have a low mortgage balance that can be paid off at closing with proceeds
from the HECM loan
- Reside in the home as your
primary residence
- Receive reverse mortgage
counseling from a counseling agency that is approved and certified by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA)
