Stop making mortgage payments and realize income from the equity you have accumulated in your property with a Reverse Mortgage.

Reverse Mortgage Snapshot

Reverse Mortgage Loans are designed to help seniors age 62 and older, tap into their home equity to help cover their retirement needs.  Seniors can use the proceeds from a reverse mortgage to pay for medical care or other bills, to supplement their investment portfolio during downturns, or even delay Social Security and increase monthly benefits later in life.

Reverse Mortgage Mechanics

With a reverse mortgage, as long as you live in your home, you’re not required to make monthly principal and interest mortgage payments.* Instead, the lender makes monthly payments to you.   Further, you are not required to pay back your reverse mortgage until your home is sold, vacated, or you pass away.

*You must remain current on property taxes, hazard insurance, homeowner’s association dues, any other applicable fees, and you must be able to maintain the property.

Reverse Mortgage Uses

Funds from a reverse mortgage can be used for a variety of valuable purposes.

  • Use your home equity to cover unexpected medical or other expenses
  • Use your home equity to supplement your monthly expenses when stock market conditions may not be opportune for you to withdraw investment income or principal
  • Use your home equity to make meaningful contributions to your children or grandchildren

Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) program.

Reverse Mortgages are loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). These types of loans are part of the FHA’s Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) program

  • What is a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM)? A HECM loan is designed for homeowners 62 and over to unlock a portion of the equity in their home by turning it into tax-free cash with no monthly mortgage payments. Consult your tax advisor, Borrower must continue to pay for property taxes, homeowners insurance and home maintenance costs.
  • How could a HECM help your client with their retirement portfolio? A HECM loan provides tax-free, liquid cash reserve for various uses.
  • How much does a HECM costs? Much like traditional mortgages, there are costs associated with originating the loan. Borrowers are charged an origination fee, a mortgage insurance premium (MIP), an appraisal fee as well as standard closing costs. The great news is that some of these fees are capped, and/or financed with the loan proceeds.
