Compliance Notice: Borrowers must be 62 years of age or older. HUD-approved counseling is required. A reverse mortgage is not a government benefit. The loan becomes due and payable when the last surviving borrower no longer occupies the home as their primary residence or fails to meet the obligations of the mortgage.
