(HECM) Can Enhance Your Retirement.

Key Benefits

- Stay in Your Home: Continue living in your home and retain ownership.
- Flexible Payout Options: Choose how you receive your funds, whether as a lump sum, monthly payments, or a line of credit.

How It Works
A HECM loan is a type of reverse mortgage, designed specifically for homeowners aged 62 and older. It converts a portion of your home equity into cash that you can use today, without requiring repayment until you move out or sell your home.
To qualify, you must own your home outright or have substantial equity. Additionally, you must maintain the home as your primary residence and keep up with property taxes, homeowner’s insurance, and basic maintenance. This allows you to access funds while staying in the comfort of your own home, providing financial stability and peace of mind during retirement.
Eligibility Criteria
- At least 62 years old.
- The home must be your primary residence.
- You must own your home or have a low mortgage balance that can be paid off at closing with proceeds from the reverse loan.
- You must not be delinquent on any federal debt.
- Financial assessment to ensure you can maintain property taxes, insurance, and upkeep.
