Reverse mortgages require continued payment of property taxes, insurance, and home maintenance. The loan balance grows over time as interest accrues. Eligibility depends on age (62+ for HECM, 55+ for some proprietary programs), equity, occupancy as primary residence, and program guidelines. Borrower must maintain the home. This is an illustrative scenario, not a loan commitment.

Question 01

What could your equity fund?

Retirement income Healthcare costs Home modifications Pay off existing mortgage Help family
Question 02

Do you still own the home?

Yes.

You retain full title. You live in the home. You make no monthly mortgage payments. The loan is repaid when you sell or move.

Question 03

What do heirs receive?

The home + remaining equity.

Heirs inherit the property. If the home is worth more than the loan balance, they keep the difference. FHA insurance protects against owing more than the home is worth.

Eligibility

Who qualifies?

Age 62+

HECM (FHA-insured) reverse mortgage

Age 55+

Some proprietary (non-HECM) programs

Primary residence

Must be your main home

Sufficient equity

Typically 50%+ equity in the home

HECM requires 62+; some proprietary programs start at 55+

04

Forgetting ongoing obligations

You still pay property taxes, insurance, and maintenance

I have now completed five mortgages with Jim. He and his team are true professionals that you can count on. Numbers always spot on, accurate, and on time. I would never even consider looking elsewhere for any of my mortgage needs.
