I help homeowners 62+ access the equity in their home — eliminating mortgage payments, supplementing retirement income, and living life on their own terms.
* Borrowers must continue to pay property taxes, insurance & maintenance and occupy the home as their primary residence.
A reverse mortgage is a government-insured loan that allows homeowners 62 and older to convert a portion of their home equity into tax-free cash — with no required monthly mortgage payment.*
Your home equity can do more than just sit there. Here are some of the powerful ways homeowners use a reverse mortgage to improve their retirement years.
Say goodbye to your monthly mortgage obligation and free up hundreds — or thousands — of dollars each month.*
Receive tax-free† proceeds as a lump sum, monthly installments, or a flexible line of credit to boost your cash flow.
Stay in the home you love. Access funds to modify your home for safety and comfort, or cover everyday living expenses.
Medical bills, in-home care, and prescriptions don't have to drain your savings. Your home equity can help bridge the gap.
Fund renovations you've been putting off — a new roof, updated kitchen, accessibility ramps — and protect your home's value.
Consolidate high-interest debts and lower your total monthly obligations, giving your budget breathing room.
Most homeowners are surprised by how straightforward the requirements are. Here's what you need to be eligible for a reverse mortgage.
You (and any co-borrower) must be at least 62 years of age. Non-borrowing spouses may still be protected under current guidelines.
The home must be your primary residence — the place where you live the majority of the year. Investment properties do not qualify.
You must have significant equity in your home. The more equity you have, the more funds may be available to you through the program.
All applicants must complete a brief HUD-approved counseling session — it's a required protection for you, and Wanda will walk you through it.
Single-family homes, FHA-approved condos, multi-family (up to 4 units with owner occupancy), and manufactured homes may qualify.
Lenders review your capacity to meet ongoing obligations like taxes, insurance, and maintenance to protect your home and your investment.
I guide you through every step. No surprises, no pressure — just clear, honest information so you can make the best decision for your family.
We review your goals, home value, and equity to see what's possible. No obligation.
An independent HUD-approved counselor reviews the program with you — a required step that protects your interests.
We submit your application and have your home appraised to determine its current market value.
The lender reviews all documents, verifies eligibility, and prepares final loan approval.
Sign your final documents and receive your funds — often within 3 business days of closing.

Knowledge is power. Here's everything you need to understand reverse mortgages clearly and confidently.
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.
HECM reverse mortgages are insured by the Federal Housing Administration — one of the strongest safety nets in lending.
Before any application, you must meet with an independent HUD-approved counselor who has no financial stake in the transaction.
You (or your heirs) can never owe more than the home is worth at the time of repayment — even if the loan balance exceeds the home value.
Reverse mortgages are heavily regulated by HUD and the CFPB, with strict rules about fees, disclosures, and lender conduct.
