Stay in Your Home. Eliminate Monthly Payments. Enjoy Retirement.
At The Park Place Collective, we believe in helping you make smart, confident financial decisions — especially when it comes to something as important as your home.
If you’re considering a Reverse Mortgage (specifically a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage, or HECM), here’s everything you need to know about how it works:
Borrowers must be 62 years or older.
You must own your home outright or have a low remaining mortgage balance.
The home must be your primary residence, meaning you live there most of the year.
Eligible properties include:
While there's no strict income or credit score requirement, lenders will check that you can pay for:
You cannot be delinquent on federal debts, like federal income taxes or student loans.
You’ll need to complete a counseling session with a HUD-approved HECM counselor to fully understand the loan and its responsibilities.
You can choose how you receive your funds:
The loan becomes due when:
As long as you live in the home and meet the loan requirements, you don’t have to make monthly mortgage payments.
You or your estate will never owe more than the value of the home when the loan is repaid — even if the balance grows larger than the home’s worth.
Reverse mortgages are insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) for your protection and peace of mind.
Because interest and fees are added to the loan balance, the amount you owe grows over time.
You must keep your home in good condition throughout the life of the loan.
You are required to keep property taxes and homeowners insurance paid and current.
