A Reverse Mortgage is a type of home loan designed for homeowners aged 62 and older, allowing them to access their home equity without selling their home. Instead of making monthly payments, the loan balance is repaid when the homeowner sells the home, moves out permanently, or passes away.
A Reverse Mortgage is ideal for retirees and seniors who want to supplement their income, eliminate monthly mortgage payments, or cover medical expenses. It allows homeowners to remain in their homes while accessing their home equity for financial security.
Unlike a traditional mortgage, where borrowers make monthly payments, a Reverse Mortgage provides funds to the homeowner in the form of a lump sum, monthly payments, or a line of credit. The loan is repaid when the homeowner no longer lives in the home.
Reverse mortgage options include:
Single-Purpose Reverse Mortgages – Offered by state and local agencies for home improvements and property taxes.
A Reverse Mortgage provides financial flexibility, eliminates monthly mortgage payments, and allows homeowners to age in place. The loan proceeds are tax-free, and funds can be used for medical bills, living expenses, home repairs, or travel.

Understand HECM eligibility, ongoing homeowner responsibilities and repayment before deciding whether a reverse mortgage fits your plans.
A Home Equity Conversion Mortgage is an FHA-insured reverse mortgage for eligible homeowners age 62 or older. It allows borrowing against home equity while retaining ownership. Monthly principal-and-interest payments are generally not required while the loan remains in good standing, but taxes, insurance, maintenance and occupancy obligations continue.
Eligibility includes the age requirement, an eligible principal residence, sufficient equity, a financial assessment and counseling with a HUD-approved reverse mortgage counselor. Any existing mortgage generally must be paid off at closing, using proceeds or other funds. There is no universal rule that exactly 50% equity guarantees eligibility.
Available proceeds depend on factors including age, interest rates, the eligible property value, existing mortgage payoff and loan costs. The lender may also set aside funds for property charges. Payment choices vary by product and rate type. Ask for figures showing both the gross loan calculation and the money actually available to you.
Yes. You must meet the loan’s property-charge, insurance, maintenance and principal-residence requirements. A reserve funded from loan proceeds may help pay certain charges, but it does not remove your responsibility. Failure to meet the requirements can make the loan due and lead to foreclosure.
Interest and applicable charges are added to the loan balance when they are not paid out of pocket. This increases the amount owed and can reduce the equity available to you or your heirs. Review illustrations for several future years and consider how long you expect to remain in the home.
A HECM can become due when the applicable repayment event occurs. Co-borrower and eligible non-borrowing-spouse protections can affect the timing, but do not apply automatically to every person living in the home. Discuss household members, an extended absence and repayment options with the counselor and servicer before making plans.
Heirs may be able to keep the property by satisfying the reverse mortgage debt, often using their own funds or new financing. They should contact the servicer promptly about the payoff amount, appraisal and applicable deadlines. HECM non-recourse protections and options can matter when the balance exceeds the home’s value.
The IRS treats reverse mortgage advances as loan proceeds rather than taxable income. That does not settle every tax or benefit question. Money retained in an account can matter for programs with asset limits. Discuss the timing of withdrawals with a qualified tax or benefits adviser before relying on the funds.
Compare origination and closing charges, insurance, ongoing interest and the effect on home equity. Consider your ability to pay future property expenses, how long you plan to stay and alternatives such as downsizing or other financing. HECM counseling is required and is an opportunity to review those choices independently.
