Most reverse mortgages are HECMs — Home Equity Conversion Mortgages — backed by the FHA. A smaller pool of lenders handles these than conventional loans.
At SRK CAPITAL, we shop across 200+ wholesale lenders to find the right fit. Not every lender prices HECMs the same way.
Most borrowers come to us focused on one number — how much they can get. The smarter question is which payout structure fits your retirement plan.
You can take funds as a lump sum, monthly payments, a line of credit, or a combo. The line of credit option grows over time — that surprises most people.
A HELOC gives you flexible access to equity too — but it requires monthly payments and income qualification. That rules out many retired borrowers.

It's a required session with a HUD-approved counselor. They walk you through costs, risks, and alternatives before you proceed.
Generally no — loan proceeds aren't income. Consult a tax advisor for your specific situation.
