What is a Reverse Mortgage?

A Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM), commonly known as a reverse mortgage, is a federally backed loan that allows homeowners 62 years or older to convert a portion of their home equity into cash without having to sell their homes.

With a reverse mortgage:

  • You eliminate monthly mortgage payments while staying in your home.*
  • You can receive funds as a lump sum, monthly payments, a line of credit, or a combination.**
  • The loan is not repaid until the last borrower (or eligible non-borrowing spouse) no longer lives in the home.
