Reverse Mortgages

A Reverse Mortgage is a unique loan that allows homeowners, 62 years of age and older, to convert part of the equity in their home into monthly income or cash without having to sell the home, give up title, or take on additional monthly mortgage payments.
  • The home must be a single family residence, condo, or townhouse. Manufactured housing built after June 1976 also would be eligible*
  • The home must be a primary residence located in Delaware, Maryland, Virginia or Washington, D.C.
  • If there is more than one applicant, they each must be at least 62 years of age. For example, a 64-year-old husband and 59-year-old wife would not be eligible until the wife turns 62
  • The home must be a single family residence, condo, or townhouse. Manufactured housing built after June 1976 also would be eligible*
  • The Home does NOT need to be owned “Free & Clear”
  • There are NO income or medical requirements to qualify
  • There are NO credit/credit score requirements
