For homeowners 62 and older, a reverse mortgage converts home equity into cash, a line of credit or monthly income, with no required monthly mortgage payment. You keep the title and stay in your home.
A Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) is FHA-insured. The loan is repaid when the last borrower leaves the home, typically from the sale. You remain responsible for taxes, insurance and upkeep, and you can never owe more than the home is worth.
