A Reverse Mortgage/Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) is the Federal Housing Administration’s (FHA) federally backed reverse mortgage program and the most popular method for seniors to withdraw some of the equity in your home. To be eligible you must be 62+, own your home, be able to pay ongoing property charges, taxes and insurance, and the home must be your primary residence.

Home Equity for Conversion Mortgage for Purchase.

An FHA HECM for purchase is when a senior, age 62 or older, can buy a new principal residence using the proceeds from a reverse mortgage loan. This program enables these homeowners to relocate or downsize to a home that better meets their physical needs.
