Reverse Mortgage Loan Types

An HECM is a reverse mortgage loan product insured by the Federal Housing Authority (FHA). While other reverse mortgage loan products exist, the HECM is the most well-known and widely available in Bismarck Arkansas. It enables eligible homeowners to access the equity in their homes by providing funds (in many instances in a lump sum payment) without incurring a monthly payment burden during their lifetime in the home. To be eligible for an HECM, a borrower must be 62 years or older, own their own property (or have a small mortgage balance), occupy their property as their primary residence, and participate in HECM counseling.

Reverse Mortgage Loan Requirements


There are no income, credit, or employment qualifications required of the borrower, and no repayment is required if the property is the borrower’s primary residence in Bismarck Arkansas or elsewhere. Closing costs may be financed in the mortgage loan. The homeowner is responsible for property taxes, insurance, maintenance, utilities, fuel, and other expenses.

Bismarck Arkansas Reverse Mortgage Financing

Some who offer reverse mortgages in Bismarck Arkansas may pressure you to buy other financial products, like an annuity or long term care insurance. Resist that pressure. You don’t have to buy any products or services to get a reverse mortgage (except to maintain the adequate homeowners or hazard insurance that HUD and other lenders require). In fact, in some situations, it is illegal to require you to buy other products to get a reverse mortgage.
