The Basics
What Is a Reverse Mortgage?
A Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) is a federally insured loan that allows homeowners 62+ to convert a portion of their home equity into cash.
Unlike a traditional mortgage, you don't make monthly payments to the lender. The loan balance grows over time and is repaid when you sell the home, move out, or pass away.
You retain full ownership of your home throughout the life of the loan, and FHA insurance protects you if the loan ever exceeds the home's value.

Common Questions
Myths vs. Reality
Myth
"The bank takes my home."
Reality: You retain full ownership. The lender has a lien — just like a traditional mortgage — but the home is yours.
Myth
"My heirs will be stuck with debt."
Reality: HECM loans are non-recourse. Heirs can sell the home, pay off the balance, and keep any remaining equity.
Myth
"It's only for people who are broke."
Reality: Financial advisors increasingly recommend HECMs as a strategic retirement tool for affluent homeowners.
Myth
"I can't get one if I have a mortgage."
Reality: You can use the HECM to pay off your existing mortgage — eliminating that monthly payment entirely.
