Common questions
Who qualifies for a reverse mortgage in Patterson?
You must be 62 or older, live in the home as your main residence, have enough equity, and keep paying property taxes, homeowners insurance, and upkeep. You also complete a session with a HUD-approved counselor.
How much can I get from a reverse mortgage in Patterson?
It depends on the youngest borrower's age, your home's value (up to the 2026 FHA limit of $1,249,125), and current interest rates. Our free calculator gives an estimate with no personal information required.
Do I still own my home?
Yes. You keep the title. The loan is repaid when the last borrower sells, moves out for good, or passes away. Non-recourse loan: when the loan is repaid, you or your heirs won't owe more than the home's value at that time. Heirs who keep the home pay the loan balance or 95% of the appraised value, whichever is less. You still pay property taxes, insurance and upkeep, and live in the home.
Do I have to make monthly payments?
No monthly mortgage payment is required. You still pay property taxes, homeowners insurance, and keep up the home.
