Question 1

Can my heirs keep the house after I pass away?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they can repay the loan balance and keep the home. If they sell, any equity above the loan amount goes to them.

Question 2

What happens if the loan balance exceeds my home value?

Accepted Answer

FHA insurance covers the difference on HECM loans. You or your heirs never owe more than the home's value when sold.

Question 3

Can I still qualify if I have an existing mortgage?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but reverse mortgage proceeds must pay off your current loan first. Remaining funds become available to you after payoff.

Question 4

How much equity can I access in Turlock?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your age, home value, and interest rates. Older borrowers with more valuable homes access higher percentages of equity.

Question 5

What if I need to move to assisted living later?

Accepted Answer

The loan becomes due if you leave the home for more than 12 consecutive months. You or your heirs must repay or sell.
