Explanation
A Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM/reverse mortgage) allows Oregon homeowners 62 or older to convert home equity into tax-free income without monthly mortgage payments. The loan balance grows over time and is repaid when the borrower sells, moves, or dies. There is no income requirement — the equity in the home serves as collateral. FHA insures most reverse mortgages.
