A Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) is a type of home equity loan that allows you to convert some of the existing equity in your home into cash while you retain ownership of the property. Equity is the current cash value of a home minus the current loan balance.
No Mortgage Payments Required. A HECM mortgage works much like a traditional mortgage, except instead of the homeowner paying the lender each month, the lender pays the homeowner. As long as the homeowner continues to live in the home, no repayment of principal, interest, or servicing fees are required. The funds received from a HECM mortgage may be used for anything, including housing expenses, taxes, insurance, fuel or maintenance costs.
To qualify for a HECM mortgage, you must own your home. You may choose to receive the HECM mortgage funds in a lump sum, monthly advances, as a line-of-credit, or a combination of the three, depending on the HECM mortgage type and the lender. The amount of money you are eligible to borrow depends on your age, the amount of equity in your home, and the interest rate set by the lender.
Our loans are government backed and meet guidelines to protect borrowers. Borrowers always stay in control of their property and retain full ownership. Like traditional mortgages, the HECM mortgage becomes a lien on the property.
Because the borrower retains ownership of the home with a HECM mortgage, the borrower also continues to be responsible for taxes, repairs and maintenance. In some cases, the taxes and insurance can be paid by the lender instead of the homeowner.
Depending on the plan selected, a HECM mortgage is due with interest either when the homeowner permanently moves, sells the home, dies, or the end of a pre-selected loan term is reached. If the homeowner dies, the lender does not take ownership of the home. Instead, the heirs must pay off the loan, typically by refinancing the loan into a forward mortgage (if the heirs meet eligibility requirements) or by using the proceeds generated by the sale of the home.
