What Is a Reverse Mortgage
A Reverse Mortgage, also known as a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM), is a special loan available to homeowners aged 62 and older. It allows you to convert part of your home’s equity into cash without having to sell your home or make monthly mortgage payments.
HECM loans are federally insured and designed to help retirees access the wealth they’ve built in their homes, providing financial flexibility during retirement. Instead of you paying the lender, the lender pays you—through a lump sum, monthly payments, or a line of credit.
