HECM Reverse Mortgage Basics
What is a HECM?
First things first, 98% of all reverse mortgages are the Federally Insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage, also known as a HECM, or “Heck-um”.
The “NEW” HECM is the Federal Housing Administration’s upgraded or enhanced reverse mortgage credit line program. The “Old” reverse mortgage is obsolete – making it impossible to really compare the two.
The HECM Credit Line can be an important retirement tool that allows you to access a portion of your home’s equity. The HECM provides you with Tax-Free Cash without the burden of a monthly mortgage payment.
