Reverse mortgages are FHA-insured products backed by the government. Only HUD-approved lenders can originate them. Most borrowers work with brokers or direct lenders, not retail branches.
Closing timelines run 45 to 60 days typically. HUD requires a mandatory counseling session covering alternatives and costs. That upfront education protects borrowers and ensures informed decisions.

Reverse mortgages make sense for Farmersville homeowners 62+ who own paid-off homes and want to stay put. They convert home equity into accessible cash without monthly payments.
They don't work well if you plan to move within five years. Upfront costs (origination, appraisal, insurance, counseling) are real. Compare alternatives like a home equity line of credit.

A home equity line of credit (HELOC) lets you borrow against equity but requires monthly payments and good credit. A reverse mortgage has no monthly payment — the loan balance grows over time.
