David Blatt helps homeowners across the entire state of Michigan understand reverse-mortgage options. Adult children and trusted advisors can also use the educational resources to understand the choices and questions to discuss with David. ### What is the age requirement for a reverse mortgage? Standard FHA-insured HECM eligibility begins at age 62. Some proprietary or non-HECM reverse-mortgage programs may be available beginning at age 55. Age alone does not establish eligibility; the property, equity, financial assessment and current program requirements also matter. ### Are all reverse mortgages government loans? No. HECM is an FHA-insured, government-backed reverse mortgage. Proprietary or other non-HECM reverse mortgages are different products and should not be described as FHA insured merely because they are reverse mortgages. ### Do borrowers have to make monthly mortgage payments? Monthly principal-and-interest mortgage payments are optional under the reverse-mortgage arrangement. Borrowers must still meet the loan terms, including property taxes, homeowners insurance, home maintenance and applicable occupancy requirements. Interest and applicable fees can increase the loan balance when not paid. ### How much money could a homeowner receive? Available proceeds depend on the program, age, property value, interest rate, existing mortgage payoff, costs and eligibility. A calculator provides an estimate, not approval or a commitment.
