"My older brother lives on his own and on Social Security and needed help financially. On the plus side, he owns his home. So a friend recommended Tim for help with a reverse mortgage, and we are very grateful she did! He explained the process in detail, then walked my brother through everything - step by step until the reverse mortgage closed. My brother has peace of mind now. I would recommend Tim to everyone."
-Mary Jo R.
"We have a very complicated property of multiple parcels, and Tim did a great job of carefully following up on every aspect of the reverse mortgage. We tried another firm initially, and although they were a big, well-recommended company, they failed miserably. Tim took over and guided us through the many steps needed for the complicated paperwork. I recommend Tim highly."
- Michael F.
"My mother and I had an absolutely perfect experience getting a reverse mortgage solely because of Tim Hemmen. We’re actually going to miss him. Tim is professional, thoughtful, and extremely brilliant at what he does. He made getting a reverse mortgage seem so seamless and easy. Tim always stayed in touch and was on top of everything. It was like we didn’t have to do anything. He just walked us through it all seamlessly. He thoroughly explained everything! It was very enjoyable sitting with him and not just learning, but laughing too. I will forever recommend APMRL because of Tim. Thank you for everything!"

Your Guide to Reverse Mortgages
A: Pronounced (heckum). It’s a reverse mortgage that is insured by FHA. HECM is an acronym for a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage. In 1988, former U.S. President Ronald Reagan, signed the FHA bill that put HECM loans into law.
A: The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) is a United States government agency created in part by the National Housing Act of 1934. The FHA sets standards and provides insurance for loans made by banks and lenders that offer Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECM)
A: Simply put, home equity is your home’s fair market value less the outstanding balance of all liens on the property...e.g. If your home is worth $250,000.00 and you owe $100,000.00 on your mortgage (lien), you’d have $150,000.00 of equity.
Here’s the formula: Home Value - Liens = HOME EQUITY
A: When you take out a mortgage loan, the company lending you the money places a lien on your property to secure the debt. The owner of the property is referred to as the borrower and the lender is referred to as the lienholder.
A: To qualify as your primary residence, you must typically live in the property for at least 6 months and one day per calendar year.
A: An FHA-insured HECM is a non-recourse loan, which is beneficial for consumers. This means when the loan becomes due and payable (i.e. you move out or pass away), if the reverse mortgage balance is higher than the value of your home, neither you nor your heirs will be required to pay the difference. That’s because the FHA insurance covers the difference to pay off the lender.

It’s no secret that Americans are largely unprepared for retirement. But according to some financial advisors, they could be improving their financial standing significantly by factoring in home equity into a comprehensive retirement income plan.
Reverse mortgage loans typically must be repaid either when you move out of the home or when you die. However, the loan may need to be paid back sooner if the home is no longer your principal residence, you fail to pay your property taxes or homeowners insurance, or do not keep the home in good repair.
Would the line of credit ultimately be larger if opened earlier rather than later? We can further explore this question with a more realistic example.
If you’re a senior with serious digs in places like California or the New York City area or other markets where many homeowners are house-rich and cash-poor, you might be able to secure such funds with only your home.
With coronavirus shutdowns wreaking havoc on the global economy, investment portfolios are also getting battered. The S&P 500 is down more than 10% since the start of the year.
