Types of Reverse Mortgage Loans

There are three versions of the reverse mortgage. They include single-purpose reverse mortgages, which are offered by some state and local government agencies and nonprofit organizations; Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECMs) which are a federally insured HUD product; and proprietary reverse mortgages, which are issued by commercial mortgage lenders. Single-purpose reverse mortgages are not available everywhere. In states and cities that offer them, they are a very low-cost arrangement and usually available only to low- and moderated-income households. There are no limitations on the use of funds generated by HECMs or proprietary reverse mortgages, and they are available everywhere. They are more expensive than single-purpose reverse mortgages. The amount you can borrow with either of these models depends on a number of factors but generally speaking, the older you are and the more equity you hold in the home the more you can borrow.
