HECM – HOME EQUITY CONVERSION MORTGAGE (REVERSE MORTGAGE)

A HECM is an FHA insured loan for senior homeowners who are 62 or older, and live in their home. The Lender allows seniors to utilize part of the equity in their home, but are not required to make payments on the loan!

HECM for Purchase – Now seniors can use a HECM to make a home purchase in California!

There are modest income, credit, tax & insurance payment history requirements, and once funded, there is no repayment required as long as borrower lives in the home, pays property taxes, and maintains hazard insurance! (Taxes and insurance must be paid on the assessed value)

Money from a HECM can be used any way that the homeowners choose and is non-taxable. YOU

A HECM or HECM for Purchase also known as a Reverse Mortgage is an FHA insured loan for senior homeowners who are 62 or older, and live in their home. As the name implies, it is the “reverse” of a typical mortgage.

The Lender allows seniors to utilize part of the equity in their home, but are not required to make payments on the loan! There are modest income, credit and tax & insurance payment history requirements, and once funded, there is no repayment required as long as borrower lives in the home, pays property taxes, and maintains hazard insurance!

Money from a Reverse Mortgage can be used any way that the homeowners choose and is non-taxable. YOU NEVER owe more than the value of your home!!

Making the Equity in A Home Work For The Homeowner

A Reverse Mortgage allows a senior homeowner to access some of their equity and put it to use.

The proceeds from a Reverse Mortgage could be put into income producing investments that could create cash flow from some of the equity in the home! Giving you options and the ability to stay in your home or purchase a new home.

Taxes on the assessed value and insurance still have to be paid after doing a HECM, however, a portion of the equity can now be accessed. Plus, although not guaranteed, the value of the home should increase over time as well.

Doing a Reverse Mortgage does not change the title to the home.

Seniors still own their home and still make all the decisions concerning the disposition of that home. Seniors have the same rights as a homeowner as they always did.

A reverse mortgage however is NOT for everyone… Here, financial expert Rob Black talks with KRON4’s James Fletcher about seniors and reverse mortgage scams.
