Reverse Mortgage Counseling

What is a Reverse Mortgage

A traditional HECM (Home Equity Conversion Mortgage) reverse mortgage can help older adults with their financial needs in the following ways:

  • A loan that allows homeowners age 62+ to tap into their home equity
  • They can use the proceeds for whatever they need
  • Owners keep the Title to their home, but will continue to be responsible for paying property taxes, homeowner’s insurance, and any home maintenance

No monthly payments ever – interest accrues only on the portion of the loan amount disbursed.

Borrower Eligibility Requirements

  • Age 62 and over (all owners)
  • Occupy home as principal residence (over 6 months per year)
  • At least one spouse must be residing in home at time of closing
  • Any existing mortgage or lien must be paid off at closing

What Property Requirements Must My Senior Clients Meet?*

The property must be your senior clients primary residence and may be a:

  • Single-Family home
  • HUD-approved condominium
  • Planned unit development (PUD)

* Home must meet FHA Minimum Property Requirements.

What else do I need to know?

Federal legislation requires that the borrowers attend HECM Counseling to make sure that seniors understand the costs of a HECM as well as alternatives that may be available. NeighborWorks® Pocatello offers this valuable service for $100 with a certified HECM counselor. You may qualify for a fee waiver, ask for details. 

Call NeighborWorks® Pocatello at (208) 232-9468 and ask for Sean for more information.
