Pennsylvania Reverse Mortgages

A reverse mortgage, also known as HECM (Home Equity Conversion  Mortgage) is a way for seniors over the age of 62 to supplement their retirement income by borrowing against the equity on their home. Pennsylvania reverse mortgage loans do not need to be paid off by the borrower until death or transfer of the home. Reverse mortgages offer the opportunity for senior homeowners to live in their home without making mortgage payments to the reverse mortgage
