Those 62 and older may qualify for the HECM for Purchase Loan. It is a loan that may help you buy your next home without required monthly mortgage payments, except for taxes, insurance, and general maintenance. A HECM (Home Equity Conversion Mortgage), the most common type of reverse mortgage, is a way to turn a portion of the equity in your home into tax-free cash without having to make mortgage payments. Instead of mortgage payments, the loan is repayable when the  last borrower leaves the home, as long as all loan terms are met. As part of the loan, the borrow is required to continue paying property taxes and insurance and maintain the home. According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, more than half of a million households across the nation are using a HECM reverse mortgage insured through the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) that enables seniors to help manage their ever-increasing living expenses.
