How Reverse Mortgages Work

A reverse mortgage allows eligible homeowners to access a portion of their home’s equity without making monthly mortgage payments. Loan proceeds may be received as a lump sum, line of credit, or scheduled payments.

Repayment typically occurs when the home is sold, the borrower moves out permanently, or passes away.

HECM for Purchase

The Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) for Purchase program allows qualified borrowers to buy a new primary residence using reverse mortgage funds. This can support right-sizing, relocating, or moving closer to family while avoiding monthly mortgage payments.

Jumbo Reverse Mortgages

Proprietary jumbo reverse programs allow access to equity beyond HECM limits and may be available for higher-value homes. These solutions can offer greater borrowing capacity and flexible payout options.
