Reverse Mortgage Basics
A reverse mortgage enables homeowners 62 and over to safely convert a
portion of their home equity into cash without selling their home or
taking on monthly debt payments. If you're not 62 or older, contact me for
other payment-free options to access your home equity.
The most popular reverse mortgage is the HUD/FHA Home Equity Conversion
Mortgage (HECM). HUD is the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development and FHA is the Federal Housing Authority. These government
entities regulate, promote and insure most reverse mortgages.
The reverse mortgage is a government program like Social Security or
Medicare. The difference is that it is based upon your home equity which
can be used only by you.
