What to Know About Reverse Mortgages in El Paso, Texas

A reverse mortgage is a loan that lets homeowners do more with their money. As you pay off your mortgage, your home gains equity — an increasing market value. A reverse mortgage takes that equity and turns it into cash, essentially allowing you to take that value in spendable funds. You can use these funds for a range of needs and wants — we’ve watched clients pay bills and living expenses, renovate their homes and take family vacations.

Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECMs) are the most common reverse mortgage, and they are federally insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). This measure makes it more accessible to people in many financial situations. Once you’re approved, you can repay the loan in your own time and face minimal interest rates for doing so. For most older adults who own a home, a HECM is the best option to maintain financial security once income from their employment is no longer enough.

What Are the Advantages of a Reverse Mortgage?

A reverse mortgage offers numerous benefits for seniors:

  • Homeownership: Do you still owe money on your El Paso home? You can use the reverse mortgage proceeds to pay off the loan balance while never having any required monthly mortgage payments.
  • More financial freedom: You’ll have the flexibility to use the funds to maintain or improve your current lifestyle, payoff debt, take that dream vacation, buy a new car or help your children or grandchildren.
  • Tax-free income: You don’t have to pay taxes on the reverse mortgage. The IRS categorizes the funds as a loan advance instead of income.
  • No credit score issues: You won’t have to meet a minimum credit score requirement to be eligible for a reverse mortgage.
  • Repayment flexibility: There are no strict payment schedules — you can repay the loan over time or wait until you sell the home.
