A Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) is also known as a reverse mortgage. Reverse mortgages are like home equity loans with one major difference. Like a home equity loan, you borrow against the value of your home. And like a home equity loan, you can get the cash from a reverse mortgage in a lump sum or in dribs and drabs as you need it. With a reverse mortgage, you pay back nothing on the loan until you move out of your home or sell it. The proceeds are used to pay off the amount you've borrowed, and the amount you owe is limited to the value of your home. Learn more here about reverse mortgages or a HECM.
