Reverse Mortgages in Dixon
Do I still own my home with a reverse mortgage?
Yes. You keep title. The loan is repaid when you sell, move out, or pass away.
01
Dixon is a tight-knit Solano County town with strong long-term homeownership. Many residents have lived in the same home for decades — and built serious equity.
That equity can work for you in retirement. A reverse mortgage converts it to cash without a monthly payment obligation.

You must be at least 62 years old. The home must be your primary residence — vacation homes and rentals don't qualify.
Lenders require a financial assessment to confirm you can cover taxes, insurance, and upkeep. Credit score matters less here than your ability to maintain the home.

03
Most reverse mortgages are HECMs — Home Equity Conversion Mortgages — backed by FHA. That federal backing means strict rules but also strong borrower protections.
Not every lender prices HECMs the same way. Origination fees and mortgage insurance premiums are regulated, but margins on the variable rate are not.
04
The biggest mistake I see: borrowers waiting too long. The older you are and the more equity you have, the more you can access.
HUD-approved counseling is required before closing. Don't skip it — it protects you and often surfaces questions worth asking your lender.
05
A HELOC also taps equity, but it requires monthly payments and income to qualify. A reverse mortgage skips the payment entirely.
Home equity loans are similar — fixed payouts, but again with a repayment schedule. If cash flow is the goal, a reverse mortgage wins on structure.
06
Dixon sits between Sacramento and the Bay Area. Many retirees here bought before prices climbed and have held those homes for 20-plus years.
Solano County's relatively affordable base means equity levels vary. A broker can pull current valuations to see exactly what your home supports.
