Reverse Mortgage Brokers California
Reverse mortgages have been rising in California. Seniors who want to stay in their home and while still owning the home have turned to a relatively new product, a reverse mortgage. A reverse mortgage also provides seniors with a lump sum amount of cash and/or monthly cash flow.
The loan is officially known as a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM). There are several basic requirements to qualify for a HUD backed reverse mortgage.
- 62 or older
- Enough equity in home
- Responsible in maintaining home
- Valid homeowners insurance
- Pay property taxes
- Home needs to be your primary residence
Since HUD insures the HECM/reverse mortgages, you will be allowed to stay in the home as long as you live or until you decide to sell the home.
