What is Reverse Mortgage?

A Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM), commonly known as a reverse mortgage, enables seniors to access a portion of their home’s equity without having to make monthly mortgage payments as long as they live in the home as their primary residence, continue to pay required property taxes, homeowners insurance and maintain the home according to FHA requirements.

1 This disbursement option is only available for a fixed-rate loan.

2 You must live in the home as your primary residence, continue to pay required property taxes, and homeowners insurance, and maintain the home according to FHA requirements. Failure to meet these requirements can trigger a loan default that may result in foreclosure.

3 Generally, money received is not considered income and should be tax-free, though you must continue to pay required property taxes. Consult your financial advisor and appropriate government agencies for any effect on taxes or government benefits.
