The reverse mortgage process is highly regulated by the federal government to insure borrowers do not put themselves in danger of losing their home.

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 Gardiner Oregon. 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 learn more, please apply with Bills.com and get matched with a lender or read more about in our Reverse Mortgage section. 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


Qualifying for a reverse mortgage is easy and hassle-free. There is no minimum income required and no monthly repayments. And what's more, with a reverse mortgage, you do not stand the chance of losing your home. In the case of a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM), HUD requires that you meet with a counselor from an independent government-approved housing counseling agency. The counselor must explain the loan's costs, financial implications, and alternatives. This is a tremendous resource. Shop the loan market all you want, but take what you find to a counselor who can walk you through all your options and compare them, side by side.

Reverse Mortgage Loan Financing

Some who offer reverse mortgages in Gardiner Oregon 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.
