What is Reverse Mortgage?
A Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM), commonly known as a reverse mortgage, enables seniors to access a portion of their home’s equity without having to make monthly mortgage payments as long as they live in the home as their primary residence, continue to pay required property taxes, homeowners insurance and maintain the home according to FHA requirements.
