A reverse mortgage allows an eligible older homeowner to borrow against home equity. The balance generally grows as proceeds, interest, and fees are added, and the borrower remains responsible for property charges and home maintenance.

Free up cash flow by removing the required monthly mortgage payment. You remain responsible for property taxes, homeowners insurance, and basic maintenance, but your budget gains breathing room each month. Mike Wright reviews current balance, fees, and projected funds so you see exactly how a reverse mortgage improves day to day comfort and long term planning.
Reverse mortgage proceeds can support care at home, accessibility upgrades, medical bills, or a reserve for future needs.

Move to a home that fits today without taking on a monthly mortgage payment. With HECM for Purchase, you bring a required down payment and use a reverse mortgage for the rest. Mike Wright outlines costs, timelines, and property requirements, then coordinates with your agent so you can right size or relocate with a calm and predictable closing.
Reverse mortgage proceeds are loan advances and are generally not taxed as income, which can make them an efficient source of funds for needs like care, renovations, or reserves. Mike Wright provides precise figures and recommends speaking with a qualified tax professional so your plan supports both comfort today and smart stewardship over time.
The HECM line of credit offers flexibility. Unused credit can grow according to program rules, which supports longevity planning. Draw what you need when you need it. Mike Wright explains how growth works, sets draw checkpoints, and helps you maintain a steady rhythm so cash remains available while you protect your overall plan.
You keep title to your home, and HECM loans are typically non recourse. You or your heirs will not owe more than the home value when the loan is due, subject to program rules. Heirs can sell the home or keep it by paying the balance or its market value if lower. Mike Wright explains these protections in plain language.

Understand balance growth, repayment events, ongoing homeowner responsibilities, counseling, costs, and alternatives before deciding.
A reverse mortgage allows an eligible older homeowner to borrow against home equity. The loan balance generally grows over time as funds, interest, and fees are added; it is not free money.
Repayment is generally triggered when the home is sold or is no longer the borrower’s principal residence. Other events can also matter, so borrowers and family members should understand the loan documents and servicing rules.
For an FHA-insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage, the borrower must keep the home as a principal residence, pay property charges such as taxes and homeowners insurance, and maintain the home. Failure to meet obligations can lead to default or foreclosure.
No. It changes how home equity and repayment work; interest and fees continue to accrue, the balance can grow, and property charges remain the borrower’s responsibility. Compare alternatives and complete required counseling where applicable.
Loan programs, terms, fees, and eligibility vary. A conversation with Mike is not an application, approval, rate lock, or commitment to lend.
