This type of loan is fast gaining popularity as a means for seniors to supplement their retirement funds. Though still a relatively new type of loan and occupying a small niche, it looks set to become a major part of the lending industry in the coming years. Indeed, it’s easy to see why, as many seniors derive great benefits from a HUD reverse mortgage, but one should also bear in mind that there are also some downsides.

What is a HUD Reverse Mortgage?

Unlike a traditional mortgage or home equity loan where the borrower must make monthly repayments to the lender, the lender makes payments to the borrower. With a traditional loan, the more repayments the borrower makes the more equity is put back into the home but with this type of loan, equity is taken out as the borrower receives payments from the lender.

Also, a HUD reverse mortgage (often referred to as a HECM) is insured through the FHA, which ensures that the borrower is guaranteed to receive all the money they’re entitled to. If the monthly payments that the borrower receives total more than the value of the equity of the home, the government guarantees to pay the lender the shortfall. Also, if the lender goes bust, the government will pay the borrower everything that they are due. The insurance premiums are paid at the commencement of the loan - 2% of the home’s value plus an annual premium of 0.5% which is deducted from the payments made to the borrower.

The greatest benefit of a HECM over a Home Keeper or Jumbo program is that it is guaranteed by the government.
