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 Bennington Idaho. 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


If you live in a higher-valued home in Bennington Idaho, you may be able to borrow more with a proprietary reverse mortgage, but the more you borrow, the higher your costs. The best way to see key differences between a HECM and a proprietary loan is to do a side-by-side comparison of costs and benefits. Many HECM counselors and lenders can give you this important information.

Reverse Mortgage Loan Financing

In a reverse mortgage, a homeowner 62 years of age and older receives money from the lender and generally does not have to pay it back for as long as they live in the home. Instead, the loan is repaid when the homeowner dies, sells the home, or no longer lives there as the principal residence. Reverse mortgages can help homeowners who are house-rich but cash-poor. Reverse mortgages are an important resource to the senior population in Bennington Idaho.
