Who Can Get a Retirement Mortgage?
Understanding the eligibility criteria is the first step in exploring how a retirement mortgage can support your long-term goals.
✔️ Age Requirement:
At least one homeowner must be 62 or older to qualify for a HECM (Home Equity Conversion Mortgage), or 55 or older for the proprietary options (60 in Washington State). It's a good idea to start exploring these options before you reach the age requirement, so you can make your plans.
✔️ Primary Residence
The property must be your primary residence, meaning you live there for the majority of the year. Second homes are now eligible for a retirement mortgage in some states, upon meeting specific occupancy criteria.
✔️ Eligible Property Types:
-
Single-family homes
-
Owner-occupied 2–4 unit properties
-
FHA or Lender approved condominiums
-
Certain manufactured homes (must meet FHA guidelines)
✔️ HUD-Approved Counseling:
Before moving forward, all applicants must complete a counseling session with an approved counselor. This ensures you understand the terms, benefits, and responsibilities involved. Counseling can be completed by phone or in person. When you receive a loan estimate from us, a list of counseling companies will be included for you to choose from.
✔️ Financial Assessment:
A retirement mortgage is designed to be a sustainable solution throughout your years. That’s why every applicant undergoes a financial assessment to confirm they can maintain essential expenses like property taxes, homeowner’s insurance, and basic upkeep of the home.
At Freestone Mortgage, we’re here to walk you through each of these steps, making sure a retirement mortgage truly fits your lifestyle and financial plan. As your local reverse mortgage broker, we base our suggestions on data-driven insights so you can have transparent answers and supported guidance.
