• Proceeds are non-taxable! • No principle & interest payments required! • Your heirs inherit the equity! • Pay off your current mortgage with a new HECM! • No mortgage now? Create a line of credit or monthly income stream! • You own your home, not the bank!
Work with a local specialist with over 35 years experience! I live locally and work locally! Reverse mortgages are loans offered to homeowners who are 62 or older who have equity in their homes. The loan programs allow borrowers to defer payment on the loans until they pass away, sell the home, or move out. Homeowners, however, remain responsible for the payment of taxes, insurance, maintenance, and other items. Nonpayment of these items can lead to a default under the loan terms and ultimate loss of the home. FHA insured reverse mortgages have an up front and ongoing cost; ask your loan officer for details. These materials are not from, nor approved by HUD, FHA, or any governing agency.
