A reverse mortgage converts equity in the home you live in into cash, with no monthly mortgage payment and no credit score restriction. The loan is repaid when you sell or leave the home, and the equity above the balance stays with you or your heirs.

  • No monthly mortgage payment — while you live in the home
  • No credit score restriction
  • Lump sum, line of credit, or monthly draws
  • You stay on title and in your home
  • Current balance under 50% of value to qualify
  • The estimate below needs no name, phone, or email
Best for
  • Homeowners 62 and older
  • Eliminating a mortgage payment
  • An income cushion
  • Helping family
Why it works

What it does, in plain English.

The payment goes away

An existing mortgage is paid off from the proceeds, and no monthly mortgage payment replaces it. Property taxes, insurance, and upkeep remain yours.

Take the money your way

As a lump sum, a line of credit, monthly draws, or a combination. FHA rules may hold part of the proceeds until after the first year.

You keep the home

You stay on title and in the house. The loan is repaid when you sell or move out.

Non-recourse

On an FHA-insured HECM, neither you nor your heirs ever owe more than the home is worth.

Questions

Good to know.

What is a reverse mortgage?+

The HECM is the FHA-insured version. It converts equity in your primary residence into cash with no monthly mortgage payment, and is repaid when you sell or move out.

Who qualifies?+

For a HECM, borrowers 62 and older (some programs start younger), with the current mortgage balance under about half the home's value. There's no credit score restriction.

How do I receive the money?+

As a lump sum, a line of credit, or monthly draws.

Do I still own my home?+

Yes. You stay on title and in the home. Property taxes, insurance, and upkeep remain yours.

Is counseling required?+

Yes for a HECM: a session with an independent, HUD-approved counselor before you apply.

Will my children inherit the debt?+

No. HECMs are non-recourse. Heirs can settle the balance and keep the home, or sell it and keep any remaining equity.

Can my spouse stay in the home?+

Protections exist under HECM rules. How they apply depends on whether your spouse is on the loan and their age; Joshua reviews it with you on the call.
