HECM Reverse Mortgage Products

The Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) is the oldest and most common reverse mortgage and is insured by the federal government through the Federal Housing Administration (FHA).

There are three types of HECM loans - the HECM Standard, HECM Saver and HECM for Purchase.

HECM Standard or HECM Saver

  • The Standard Program is the oldest and most widely known reverse mortgage. More loan proceeds may be available with this option. However, the upfront fees may be higher.
  • The Saver Program differs from the traditional Standard Reverse Mortgage program in that seniors are charged significantly lower upfront fees. However, the lower upfront fees do result in less money being available to the borrower than is available under the Standard Reverse Mortgage.

HECM for Purchase

A Reverse Mortgage for Purchase, also known as a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage for purchase, is a loan allowing seniors 62 years of age or older to purchase a home while enjoying the advantage of no monthly principal and interest mortgage payments. In lieu of making monthly principal and interest mortgage payments, interest accrues monthly and is added to the loan balance. This FHA insured loan requires you to make a down payment based on the FHA program guidelines and calculation model.
