Reverse Mortgage FAQs for Seniors
A reverse mortgage is a special type of loan that allows homeowners aged 62 or older to convert a portion of their home equity into tax-free cash—without having to sell their home or make monthly mortgage payments.
Yes. You remain the owner of your home, and your name stays on the title. The lender only places a lien against the property, just like with any traditional mortgage.
The loan becomes due when the last borrower permanently moves out of the home, sells the property, or passes away. At that time, the home can be sold to repay the loan, and any remaining equity belongs to you or your heirs.
Funds can be used for almost anything:
Covering day-to-day living expenses
Paying off existing mortgages or debts
Making home improvements for aging in place
Take your dream vacation
Help children or grandchildren while you are still alive to enjoy the giving
Rightsizing by buying a single story home or condo
Supplementing retirement income or protecting investments
Covering healthcare costs
No. You can choose from several options: a lump sum, monthly payments, a line of credit, or a combination—depending on what works best for your retirement plan.
You must continue to:
Pay property taxes
Maintain homeowner’s insurance
Keep the home in good condition (Failure to do so could put the loan at risk.)
When you pass away, your heirs can decide whether to repay the loan and keep the home, or sell the home and use the proceeds to repay the loan. If the home sells for more than the loan balance, the extra money goes to your heirs. If it sells for less, FHA insurance covers the difference—your heirs will never owe more than the home’s value.
Yes. The government requires you to meet with an independent HUD-approved housing counselor before taking out a reverse mortgage. This ensures you fully understand the loan, your responsibilities, and your options.
A reverse mortgage can provide:
Extra monthly cash flow
Protection against running out of savings
The ability to stay in your home longer
Peace of mind knowing you have access to tax-free funds when you need them
Seniors that changed their retirement with a Reverse Mortgage:
After years as snowbirds, Bill (77) and JoAnn (75) sold their Wisconsin home and used a HECM for Purchase to finance a Scottsdale, AZ condo.
They paid only $300,000 upfront, allowing them to preserve $75,000 in cash for living expenses or reinvestment—without worrying about monthly mortgage payments.
The reverse mortgage gave them the freedom to live without payment obligations, with remaining equity available to them or their heirs when the loan is repaid.
At 75 and 71, Jack and Kathy decided to downsize from their large home. They sold it with about $750,000 net in equity.
They bought a $500,000 condo, using $300,000 of their home sale proceeds and a reverse mortgage for the rest.
This strategic move allowed them to preserve $450,000 for future expenses or investments, while freeing up cash flow by eliminating mortgage payments.
"After my husband passed away, I felt overwhelmed trying to keep up with the mortgage payments on our home. Every month, a big portion of my Social Security check went straight to the bank, leaving very little for groceries, medical bills, or even visiting my grandchildren.
With Mark’s help, I discovered that a reverse mortgage could completely eliminate my monthly mortgage payment while allowing me to stay in the home we built together. The relief was immediate—I finally had breathing room in my budget. Today, I’m able to afford small home improvements, cover rising medical costs, and still set aside money for family trips.
What I once saw as a financial burden has now become my greatest asset. The reverse mortgage gave me the freedom and peace of mind I needed to enjoy this stage of my life.”*
