Reverse Mortgage Frequently Asked Questions
2. Am I eligible for a reverse mortgage?
To qualify, you must be:
-
62 years or older
-
Own your home or have substantial equity
-
Live in the home as your primary residence
-
Able to maintain the home and keep up with property taxes and insurance
Eligibility may vary slightly between HECM reverse mortgages (FHA-backed) and proprietary reverse mortgages.
3. How does a reverse mortgage work?
Once approved, a reverse mortgage allows you to receive cash payments, a lump sum, or a line of credit using the equity in your home. You continue living in your property, and the loan is repaid when you move, sell the home, or pass away.
4. How much money can I get from a reverse mortgage?
The amount depends on your:
-
Age
-
Home’s value
-
Current interest rates
-
Type of reverse mortgage
Homeowners often qualify for higher payouts due to higher property values.
The main types include:
-
HECM (Home Equity Conversion Mortgage) – backed by the FHA
-
Proprietary Reverse Mortgages – private “jumbo” loans for high-value homes
-
Single-Purpose Reverse Mortgages – offered by nonprofits or local programs for specific uses like home repairs or property taxes
In addition to age and residency, you’ll need to:
-
Complete HUD-approved counseling
-
Pass a financial assessment
-
Live in an eligible property type (single-family, condo, or certain manufactured homes)
-
Maintain the property and stay current on taxes and insurance
7. Do I still own my home with a reverse mortgage?
Yes! With a reverse mortgage, you retain ownership of your home. You’re simply using your equity to fund your retirement, while continuing to live there.
8. Is a reverse mortgage a good idea for seniors?
For many retirees, a reverse mortgage is a smart way to access tax-free funds, especially with high property values and rising living costs. It’s ideal for those who want to age in place while boosting retirement income.
When you pass away, your heirs can:
-
Sell the home to repay the loan and keep the remaining equity
-
Refinance the reverse mortgage
-
Walk away if the home is worth less than the loan balance (thanks to non-recourse protection)
10. How do I apply for a reverse mortgage?
Start by contacting a licensed reverse mortgage specialist. They’ll walk you through a free consultation, eligibility review, and the application process, including home appraisal, counseling, and closing.
