Reverse Mortgage

San Francisco FCU has partnered with California Reverse Mortgage Consultants to provide our members with Reverse Mortgages.

Imagine living in your home mortgage free, or enjoying tax-free* proceeds for life benefiting from the years you've invested in your home. A reverse mortgage is a unique tool designed for seniors 62 and older. You enjoy access to part of the equity in your home and the freedom and comfort of the home you've known for so many years. It's your home, now you can put it to work for you.

Reverse mortgage borrowers retain ownership and title to their home. It's yours just as it was before, but now you can benefit from the equity that's been building in your home for years. In addition, HECM reverse mortgage loans give you the peace of mind of a government guaranteed FHA backed loan where you will never owe more than the home is worth. You can get a reverse mortgage on your primary residence and no repayment is due until the last borrower passes away or permanently leaves the home.

As a protection all those seeking a reverse mortgage are required to obtain HUD counseling (from an independent third party) prior to incurring any costs associated with the loan. While proceeds from a reverse mortgage are tax free, borrowers should seek tax advice on how proceeds may affect government needs-based programs such as Medicaid and Medi-Cal.
