Common Uses

Live more comfortably with a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) loan. Its flexible repayment feature gives you more freedom in how you manage your monthly expenses, and you can use the funds as you choose. For example:

  •  Dramatically lower your monthly mortgage payments
  •  Consolidate auto loans and high-interest credit card debt, and reduce your bills
  •  Improve monthly cash flow
  •  Establish a standby line of credit you can tap into as needed
  •  Gain payment flexibility, for more financial control
  •  Fund large purchases like a new automobile
  •  Assist a grandchild headed off to college
  •  Fund major home renovation projects
  •  Buy a home that better suits you

Depending on your needs and plans, you have the choice of taking your funds as:

  •  A line of credit — which offers all the benefits of a traditional Home Equity Line of Credit, but with greater flexibility
  •  Monthly advances, either for a set period of time or as long as you live in your home
  •  A lump sum
  •  Or a combination of these options
  •  Plus, you can change how you receive your remaining funds at any time, if you need or want to

 With a HECM loan, commonly known as a reverse mortgage, no principal and interest payments are required until you move, pass away or sell the home, as long as you meet your loan obligations. (As with any home-secured loan, you must keep current with property-related taxes, insurance and maintenance for the loan to remain in good standing.) However, you can opt to pay down your principal and interest if and when you choose; no pre-payment penalties apply.

Larry is the best hand holder Larry is the best hand holder anyone could ask for, very detailed orientated and worked well with all the other parties behind the scene in our best interest.Larry would always get us back on track when we started to stray during the process and was there at the end to help with the closing.

Larry is One of the Best I have always considered myself very comfortable financially. That is until a number of uncontrollable events occurred and most of my remaining retirement assets were in bricks. Fortunately, I met Larry a few years ago and remembered hearing about his experience and knowledge in investments, real estate and the markets in general. Having recently lost my husband I did not want to involve family in personal financial discussions, I called Larry. Larry's patience and experience in clearly explaining my options made him very easy to work with. I never felt rushed to make a decision, even after I was approved and then backed away to look at another lender. He didn't "pester" me. He left me alone to think. I came back because I knew he was looking out for my best interest. I spent my career in sales & marketing and am very familiar with selling a high-end product. Larry is one of the best. He kept the needs of his customer his primary objective. Thanks to Larry I am on my feet again.
