Reverse mortgage guidance

Understand the tradeoffs before using home equity in retirement.

A reverse mortgage can convert part of eligible home equity into funds without a required monthly principal-and-interest payment, but costs, responsibilities, eligibility, and long-term effects deserve careful review.

Common questions

Useful answers before you begin.

Do I still own my home?+

With a reverse mortgage, the borrower generally retains title while remaining responsible for required property charges and obligations. Program terms apply.

Is counseling required?+

Federally insured HECM programs generally require counseling with an approved independent counselor before closing.

Colorado mortgage context

Plan for the whole transaction—not just an advertised rate.

Colorado buyers and homeowners can face meaningful differences in property taxes, homeowners insurance, HOA obligations, appraisal considerations, and cash needed at closing. Denver-area condos, mountain properties, rural homes, and higher-priced properties may also require different documentation or loan-program review.

We start with the complete monthly housing payment and the expected time you may keep the loan. That makes it easier to compare interest rate, lender costs, mortgage insurance, down payment, reserves, and long-term interest without letting one number dominate the decision.

Program availability and qualification depend on current guidelines, the property, and your financial profile. A consultation with Denver Lending is educational and does not obligate you to apply.
