Who may qualify for a reverse mortgage in Los Angeles County?

Eligibility depends on the program. For a HECM, at least one borrower generally must be 62 or older, the home must be a qualifying primary residence, and borrowers must meet financial assessment and counseling requirements. A consultation can help clarify the details for your situation.

Do I still own my home with a reverse mortgage?

You retain title to your home. You are responsible for property taxes, homeowners insurance, home maintenance, and complying with the loan terms. The loan becomes due and payable when a maturity event occurs, such as the last borrower leaving the home as a primary residence.

Can I use a reverse mortgage to buy a home in Los Angeles County?

Eligible borrowers may be able to use a HECM for Purchase to buy a new primary residence. The program combines a down payment with reverse mortgage proceeds, subject to eligibility, property requirements, and available funds.

A thoughtful approach to your home equity

Los Angeles County homeowners often have substantial equity built up over decades. A reverse mortgage may offer a way to access part of that equity while continuing to live in your home, subject to program requirements and ongoing homeowner responsibilities.

David Simon helps clients understand the available options, compare the tradeoffs, and decide whether a reverse mortgage fits their retirement and housing goals. There is no one-size-fits-all recommendation—just a clear conversation built around your situation.

Reverse mortgage options to explore

An FHA-insured reverse mortgage for eligible homeowners age 62 and older that can provide funds as a lump sum, monthly payments, a line of credit, or a combination.

HECM line of credit

A flexible option that may allow eligible homeowners to draw funds when needed rather than taking all proceeds at once.

Jumbo reverse mortgage

Reverse mortgage for purchase

A program designed to help eligible buyers purchase a new primary residence with a reverse mortgage, potentially reducing the need for a traditional monthly mortgage payment.
