Reverse Mortgage Myths (These are all FALSE statements) I would be selling my home to the bank. No, it s a mortgage. You still own the home. My heirs won t inherit the home. Yes, they can inherit but less available equity is likely. I might outlive this loan. No, that is not possible. I could get forced out of my home. Only if I do not pay my Taxes, HO Insurance & HOA. Social Security & Medicare will be affected. Only Medicaid/SSI programs could possibly be affected. I will need to pay taxes on the HECM proceeds. There are big out-of-pocket expenses. For a refinance only upfront cost is the Appraisal and the Counseling Session. All remaining costs are financed into the loan.
How does the HECM loan get paid back? Selling the property. Heirs may pay off and keep the home. Heirs may refinance and keep the home. If the loan balance is higher than the current value, FHA will cover the difference. Note: FHA insures the loan. Borrower pays an upfront and monthly mortgage premium for this protection.
