What is a reverse mortgage?
A reverse mortgage is a special type of home loan that lets you as a homeowner convert a portion of the equity your home into cash. The equity built up
over years of home mortgage payments can be paid to you. But unlike a traditional home equity loan or second mortgage, no repayment is required until
you and any other borrower(s) no longer use the home as your principal residence. HUD's reverse mortgage also know as a HECM Loan (Home Equity
Conversion Mortgage) provides these benefits, and it is federally-insured as well.
Can I qualify for a HUD reverse mortgage?
To be eligible for a HUD reverse mortgage, HUD's Federal Housing Administration (FHA) requires that the borrower is a homeowner, 62 years of age or
older; own your home outright, or you are willing to pay off any liens at the closing with proceeds from the reverse loan; and you must live in the home. You
are further required to receive consumer information from HUD-approved counseling sources prior to obtaining the loan. You can call 1-800-400-4134 to
