Q: What happens if I still owe money on my current mortgage?

Many homeowners use a reverse mortgage to pay off their existing mortgage balance first, which eliminates that monthly payment, and then access any remaining equity as cash, a line of credit, or monthly payments.

If you own a home in Salt Lake City, you may be sitting on more equity than you realize. A reverse mortgage lets you turn part of that equity into cash — with no monthly mortgage payments required — while you stay in the home you love.

Salt Lake City home values

Your home may be worth more than you think.

Salt Lake City home values have continued to climb, with the typical home now valued around $542,915 and the average home value at $571,928 as of early 2026 — up from years past. For homeowners who've been in their homes a decade or more, that growth often means significant untapped equity.

Common questions

Salt Lake City reverse mortgage FAQs

Can I get a reverse mortgage on my Salt Lake City home?

In most cases, yes. If you're 62 or older, live in the home as your primary residence, and have sufficient equity, a HECM reverse mortgage is available on most single-family homes, FHA-approved condos, and 2–4 unit properties in Salt Lake City and throughout Utah.

How much money could I get?

It depends on your age, your home's value, current interest rates, and any existing mortgage balance. As a rough guide, borrowers can typically access roughly 40–55% of their home's value, with older borrowers generally qualifying for a higher percentage. Try our free calculator for a personalized estimate, or talk to a loan officer for exact numbers.

Do I have to make monthly mortgage payments?

No. With a reverse mortgage, you're not required to make monthly principal and interest payments. You're still responsible for property taxes, homeowners insurance, and basic home maintenance, and the home must remain your primary residence.

What happens if I still owe money on my current mortgage?

That's very common. Many Salt Lake City homeowners use a reverse mortgage to pay off their existing mortgage balance first — which eliminates that monthly payment — and then access any remaining equity as cash, a line of credit, or monthly payments.

Will my children inherit the home, or does the bank take it?

You and your heirs retain ownership of the home. When the last borrower permanently leaves the home, the loan becomes due. Heirs can choose to repay the loan and keep the home, sell the home and keep any remaining equity, or walk away — reverse mortgages are non-recourse, so heirs are never required to pay more than the home is worth.

Is this a scam? Why haven't I heard of Reverse Freedom Mortgage?

Reverse mortgages (HECMs) are insured by the FHA and have existed for decades — they're a regulated, mainstream financial product. Reverse Freedom Mortgage is a Utah-owned, BBB Accredited business (NMLS #1382816, Utah DRE #9441193) based in West Jordan. We encourage you to look us up, read our reviews, and ask us anything before deciding.
