What is a Reverse Mortgage?
Reverse mortgages are a loan option for seniors that use home equity as collateral. These loans empower you to fully use your wealth and enjoy your retirement. Our NeighborWorks OC staff live here too, so we understand the challenge of planning retirement in a high cost of living area. Let us be part of your retirement plant!
1
Plan
How much of your retirement budget is tied up in your home?
2
Consider
Pre HECM, your only options were selling (inconvenient) or refinancing (monthly payments).
3
Apply
A reverse mortgage unlocks your finances and maximizes retirement.
4
Repayment
Repay when you sell the home or it's no longer your primary residence.
Compare Your HECM Options
A Home Equity Conversion Mortgage is the only federally insured reverse mortgage in the US. And at NeighborWorks we can see if you qualify for any of the three reverse mortgages we offer.
