A reverse mortgage is a unique type of home loan that allows you to withdraw a portion of your home equity. This Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) loan is FHA’s reverse mortgage program.
To qualify, these homeowners must be at least 62 years old, own their home outright or have a low loan balance that can be paid off with the reverse proceeds.
In addition, while a reverse mortgage is not based on your credit score or evidence of an income stream, you must live in your home as your primary residence. Plus, you need to have the resources to pay ongoing property taxes, homeowners insurance and HOA dues (if applicable). And you must meet HUD’s eligibility requirements.
So think about it. Are you worried about paying your current mortgage? How about getting needed home repairs, paying medical costs or simply enjoying a lifestyle you can afford?
