HECM Line of Credit

All the benefits of a traditional home equity loan, but with more flexible payment options.

If you're 62 or older, an FHA-insured* Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) can be a smart retirement financing solution. If you have an existing mortgage, home equity loan or other debt, you could refinance them with a HECM line of credit and greatly reduce your monthly bills, while getting enhanced benefits that aren't available with other loan options — including a flexible payment feature.

Compare a HECM Reverse Mortgage versus a traditional Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC).

The advantages of a HECM Line of Credit are clear.
