Before we talk

A few things to have in mind.

  • Home value and outstanding loan balances
  • Your age and household occupancy
  • Property tax and insurance expenses
  • Long-term housing and estate questions

Bring questions first. Sensitive documents belong in the lender’s designated application process.

Good questions

Let’s clear a few things up.

Does the lender automatically own my home?

A reverse mortgage is a loan secured by your home. You retain ownership, subject to meeting the loan requirements.

Do taxes and insurance go away?

No. Borrowers must continue meeting property-charge and maintenance obligations. Failure to meet requirements can put the home at risk.

Is it right for everyone?

No. Discuss the costs, repayment triggers, eligibility, and alternatives. HECM counseling is part of that program’s process.
