Basics of
Reverse Mortgage

Our experienced loan originators can help you decide whether a reverse mortgage, also known as a HECM (Home Equity Conversion Mortgage), is right for you. In order to qualify, you must be 62 years or older and complete a counseling session with a HUD Certified Housing Counselor. Borrowers are expected to live in the home as their primary residence and pay homeowners taxes, insurance, and any applicable HOA fees.

Things to know about Reverse Mortgages:

  • Charges will be assessed with the loan, including an origination fee, closing costs, mortgage insurance premiums and servicing fees
  • The loan balance grows over time and interest is charged on the outstanding balance
