Extremely educated about his business. He was able to help my parents with a HELOC giving them a monthly income taking away all of their stress about bills and the house after their retirement. I cannot say enough about his professionalism, and knowledge. Call him!

A HECM allows you to convert a portion of the equity in your home into cash. You will continue to live in your home, retain ownership and will not be required to make any monthly mortgage payments during the loan period. However, unlike a traditional home equity loan or second mortgage, you do not have to repay the HECM loan until you no longer use the home as your principal residence or fail to meet the obligations of the mortgage. You will be required to pay for property taxes, home insurance and home maintenance.

What is a reverse mortgage? Can you explain in simple terms?

Hi Joe, that is a great question. There is a tremendous amount of confusion about reverse mortgages. Reverse mortgage is a generic term applying to many loans. They all have a basic concept of lending against the equity in your home without a monthly mortgage payment. You are still responsible for the taxes and insurance. The HUD regulated and FHA insured version is called the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage.(HECM). It is by far the most popular. The HECM is a home equity loan, specifically designed for home owners 62 and older. It features a flexible payment plan, where you decided on a monthly basis what you want to pay. It can be low as zero or whatever you are comfortable with. It also comes with a growing line of credit the unused portion of which grows in availability matching the interest rate on the loan. That is a quick answer. I would be happy to talk more specifically about how it might work for you. Call me at 833-411-HECM (4326) so we can discuss it more. thoroughly.
