Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECMs), also known as reverse mortgageloans, were created over 25 years ago by President Ronald Reagan to help Americans age 62 and older convert a portion of their home equity into tax-free money.† HECM reverse mortgages are insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and allow seniors to age in place and achieve retirement security.

A HECM for Purchase loan combines a reverse mortgage with the equity from

the sale of your previous home - or from other savings and assets - to buy your

next primary home in a single transaction. Regardless of how long you live in

the home or what happens to your home’s value, you only make one down

payment toward the purchase.

The loan amount is based on the age of the youngest borrower, prevailing

interest rates, and the value of the home you wish to purchase.
