A reverse mortgage for purchase allows eligible homeowners aged 55+ (62+ for FHA HECM loans) to buy a new primary residence using a reverse mortgage—without required monthly mortgage payments. This option can help you maximize purchasing power, preserve savings, and move into a home that better fits your lifestyle.
A reverse mortgage for purchase can give eligible homeowners more flexibility and control when buying a new primary residence—without taking on a required monthly mortgage payment.
Reverse mortgages for purchase do not require monthly principal and interest payments. This can improve cash flow and make it easier to afford the home you truly want in retirement.
By combining a cash down payment with a reverse mortgage, buyers may be able to purchase a more suitable or desirable home. This approach can help stretch buying power compared to paying all cash.
Instead of tying up a large amount of cash in a home purchase, this option allows you to keep more assets available for retirement, healthcare, or other goals. It offers flexibility while still securing a new home.
A reverse mortgage for purchase can make it easier to downsize, upsize, relocate closer to family, or move into a home better suited to your needs. The focus is on improving quality of life without added financial strain.

HECM reverse mortgages are designed to be flexible and consumer-protective, but it’s natural to have questions before deciding if one is right for you. Below are answers to some of the most common questions we hear from homeowners considering a HECM. Our goal is to provide clarity, not pressure.
Yes. You remain the owner of your home as long as it is your primary residence and you meet the loan obligations, including paying property taxes, homeowner’s insurance, and maintaining the property.
No monthly mortgage payments are required with a HECM reverse mortgage. However, borrowers are still responsible for property taxes, homeowner’s insurance, and home maintenance, and failure to meet these obligations may cause the loan to become due.
Depending on your loan structure, funds can be received as a lump sum, monthly payments, a line of credit, or a combination of these options. The choice depends on your goals and what best fits your financial plan.
A HECM reverse mortgage becomes due when the borrower no longer lives in the home as their primary residence or fails to meet loan obligations. At that point, the loan is typically repaid through the sale of the home or other funds, and neither the borrower nor their heirs will owe more than the home’s value.
Buying a home later in life comes with unique considerations, and a reverse mortgage for purchase is one of several paths available. These three pillars outline how we help you move forward—at your pace and based on what matters most to you.
