We offer a financial tool so that you can supplement your retirement income with the equity from your home to have security, independence, dignity, and control.
A reverse mortgage in Idaho is a powerful financial tool for homeowners aged 62 and older. It allows you to tap into the equity in your home and convert it into tax-free cash - without the need to sell your home or make monthly mortgage payments. For many Idaho seniors, it's a smart way to enjoy retirement with more freedom and fewer financial worries.
A reverse mortgage - formally known as a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) - lets you access your home's equity and turn it into cash while continuing to live in your home. As long as the property is your primary residence, and you stay current on property taxes, homeowners insurance, and maintenance, you'll never have to make a monthly mortgage payment.
One of the biggest advantages of a reverse mortgage is eliminating your principal and interest mortgage payment. This frees up your monthly budget while you remain in your home.
The money you receive from a reverse mortgage is not taxable, so you can use it without worrying about extra costs. Great for covering medical expenses, home renovations, or even fun things like travel!
A reverse mortgage in Idaho does not affect your Social Security or Medicare benefits, giving you full access to the retirement income you've earned.
There's no loan repayment until you move out permanently or sell the home. You can age in place, surrounded by comfort and memories.
When the homeowner passes away, the loan is typically repaid through the sale of the home. Heirs can choose to refinance and keep the home or walk away - never owing more than the home is worth.
Need to pay off credit cards? Want to help a family member? Dreaming of a vacation or second home? Your reverse mortgage funds can be used however you’d like.
Unlike traditional loans, reverse mortgages do not require high credit scores or a specific income level to qualify.
Need extra cash? A reverse mortgage refinance lets you tap into your home’s equity to:
Make home repairs or upgrades
Pay off credit cards or other debt
Build emergency savings
Travel or even buy a vacation home
Our process is simple, and our Reverse Mortgage Specialists are with you every step of the way.
