Question 1

Can I lose my home with a reverse mortgage?

Accepted Answer

Only if you stop paying property taxes, insurance, or let the home fall into disrepair. As long as you meet those obligations and live there, you keep the home.

Question 2

How much can I borrow with a reverse mortgage in Firebaugh?

Accepted Answer

Loan amount depends on age, home value, and current interest rates. Older borrowers and higher home values unlock more equity. We calculate your specific limit upfront.

Question 3

Do my heirs inherit debt with a reverse mortgage?

Accepted Answer

Heirs can repay the loan and keep the home, sell it to cover the balance, or walk away. The loan is non-recourse — lenders can't pursue other assets.

Question 4

Can I get a reverse mortgage if I still owe on my home?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if you have enough equity. The reverse mortgage pays off your existing loan first. Remaining funds come to you as cash, credit line, or monthly payments.

Question 5

What happens if I need to move to assisted living?

Accepted Answer

The loan becomes due if you leave the home for 12+ consecutive months. You or your heirs must repay or sell. Plan for this scenario before taking a reverse mortgage.
