A HECM is HUD’s term for a reverse mortgage; it stands for Home Equity Conversion Loan. HUD insures ninety percent of the reverse mortgages provided in the United States. While the actual lender is a commercial bank, HUD’s mortgage requirements and mandatory counseling make sure that you understand your reverse mortgage and that its terms are fair.
