Which is why I often say "After all, where would you go!?"

The HECM loan is simply a Home Equity Loan with special advantages. If approved, senior homeowners can stay in the home, have access to a percentage of the available equity, have no requirement to make monthly principal or interest payments and, best of all, they can sell the home whenever they are ready and keep any profits that exceed the loan balance.
