🛋

🔨

Home Improvements

📈

Reduce Monthly Debt

Consolidate high-interest debts and lower your total monthly obligations, giving your budget breathing room.

Do You Qualify?

Most homeowners are surprised by how straightforward the requirements are. Here's what you need to be eligible for a reverse mortgage.

62+

Age Requirement

You (and any co-borrower) must be at least 62 years of age. Non-borrowing spouses may still be protected under current guidelines.

🏠

Primary Residence

The home must be your primary residence — the place where you live the majority of the year. Investment properties do not qualify.

Sufficient Equity

You must have significant equity in your home. The more equity you have, the more funds may be available to you through the program.

📋

HUD Counseling

All applicants must complete a brief HUD-approved counseling session — it's a required protection for you, and Wanda will walk you through it.

🏡

Property Type

Single-family homes, FHA-approved condos, multi-family (up to 4 units with owner occupancy), and manufactured homes may qualify.

💳

Financial Assessment

Lenders review your capacity to meet ongoing obligations like taxes, insurance, and maintenance to protect your home and your investment.

HUD Counseling

An independent HUD-approved counselor reviews the program with you — a required step that protects your interests.

3

Application & Appraisal

We submit your application and have your home appraised to determine its current market value.

4

Underwriting

The lender reviews all documents, verifies eligibility, and prepares final loan approval.

5

Closing & Funds

Sign your final documents and receive your funds — often within 3 business days of closing.

Reverse Mortgage Basics 101

Knowledge is power. Here's everything you need to understand reverse mortgages clearly and confidently.

What Is a Reverse Mortgage?

A reverse mortgage is a government-insured loan product — specifically the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) — available to homeowners 62 and older. It allows you to access a portion of your home's equity as cash, without being required to make monthly mortgage payments.*


Unlike a traditional mortgage where you pay the lender each month, with a reverse mortgage the loan balance grows over time. The loan doesn't become due until you sell the home, move out permanently, or pass away. At that point, the home is typically sold to repay the loan, and any remaining equity belongs to you or your heirs.

Honest Pros & Cons

✅ Potential Benefits
  • ✓ No required monthly mortgage payment*
  • ✓ Tax-free proceeds (consult tax advisor)†
  • ✓ Remain in your home
  • ✓ Non-recourse loan — heirs never owe more than home value
  • ✓ FHA-insured and federally regulated
  • ✓ Flexible payout options
⚠️ Things to Consider
  • • Loan balance grows over time
  • • Home equity decreases as loan balance rises
  • • Must continue paying taxes, insurance & maintenance*
  • • Upfront and ongoing costs (closing costs, MIP)
  • • May affect Medicaid/SSI eligibility — consult an advisor

Non-Recourse Guarantee

HECM for Purchase
