Reverse Mortgage

Reverse mortgages, also known as Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECM) are for homeowners 62 years or older.

HECM Overview:

Reverse mortgages allow homeowners to pay off the current mortgage and use any remaining cash tax free for anything. This allows homeowners to continue to gain relief from stress of monthly bills or increased medical expenses, allow them to continue to own their home, and live more comfortably with financial flexibility.

The HECM becomes due when none of the original borrowers live in the home, if taxes or insurance become delinquent, or it the property falls into disrepair.
