Unlock the Equity in Your Home with a Texas Reverse Mortgage
A reverse mortgage or HECM (Home Equity Conversion Mortgage) is a financial tool that allows homeowners ages 62 and older to convert part of their home equity into cash payments and/or a line of credit. Since there are no restrictions on how the proceeds can be used, many reverse mortgage borrowers use HECM to:
- Purchase a new home
- Pay medical bills
- Move closer to family members
- Travel
- Supplement retirement income
There are many advantages to HECM products for seniors today. These options allow homeowners to remain homeowners without having to make monthly mortgage payments. Homeowners can choose between a lump sum payment, a line of credit, or a guaranteed monthly payment. Medicare payments are not affected.
