Over the years, they have grown from a small start-up to one of the largest Home Equity Conversion Mortgage lenders in the nation. They have helped over 50,000 seniors obtain access to the equity in their homes to help them live more comfortable and financially secure lives.

A Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) loan – also known as a reverse mortgage – can be an important financial option for seniors, their family members, and financial professionals to consider as part of an overall retirement planning strategy or to help meet cash flow needs.

A HECM loan is insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and allows senior homeowners 62 and over to access part of the equity in their home to help them live more comfortably during retirement. With a HECM loan, there are no monthly mortgage payments; no upfront lender fees; and fixed and variable rate options.

Borrowers must live in the home as their primary residence and continue to pay for property taxes, insurance and home maintenance based on program guidelines as established by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). Failure to meet these requirements can trigger a loan default that may result in foreclosure.
