The Process

How a HECM works

01

Assessment

We review your home value, equity, age, and goals to determine eligibility and potential proceeds.

02

HUD Counseling

Required by FHA: an independent counselor reviews the loan with you and your family.

03

Disbursement

Choose lump sum, monthly payments, line of credit, or a combination that fits your plan.

04

Security

FHA insurance guarantees the lender honors the loan even if the institution changes.

Professional Insight

"The line of credit option is the most powerful feature most people don't know about. It grows — untouched — at the loan's interest rate."

Preserving Your Liquidity

A HECM line of credit doesn't just give you access to cash — it grows over time. The unused portion increases at the same rate as the loan's interest, meaning the longer you wait to draw, the more available to you.

This makes the HECM LOC a powerful hedge against sequence-of-returns risk in retirement. When your portfolio dips, draw from the line. When markets recover, replenish. Your home equity becomes a dynamic part of your retirement architecture.

Did You Know?

The HECM line of credit cannot be frozen or reduced by the lender — unlike a traditional HELOC, which can be suspended if home values fall.

  • No monthly mortgage payment required
