Home-equity planning

Reverse Mortgage Options in California

A reverse mortgage is a specialized home-equity option. Learn the basics, review the tradeoffs, and discuss your situation with a licensed mortgage professional.

What to Discuss

  • Your home, current mortgage, and property situation
  • How the option may affect future plans and household finances
  • Costs, obligations, repayment events, and available alternatives
  • Questions to take to the lender and required counseling process

Important Considerations

  • Loan availability, amounts, costs, and terms vary by lender and borrower profile
  • Property charges and other ongoing obligations still need to be addressed
  • Existing liens, title, occupancy, and property requirements may matter
  • A reverse mortgage is not a commitment to lend or a guarantee of proceeds

This page is general information only. Review the full terms, counseling requirements, and alternatives with the appropriate licensed professionals.
