Encino Reverse Mortgage

For homeowners 62 and older · Updated August 2026

Encino homeowners age 62 and older can convert part of their home equity into cash with an FHA-insured reverse mortgage (HECM). There are no monthly mortgage payments, you keep the title to your home, and the 2026 FHA lending limit is $1,249,125. Most borrowers access roughly 35 to 60 percent of their home's value, depending on age and interest rates.

Why Encino homeowners use reverse mortgages

Encino’s tree-lined streets and larger lots have made it a favorite for families who put down roots and stayed. Many Encino homeowners in their 60s, 70s, and 80s own high-value homes outright, which can translate into some of the largest reverse mortgage amounts in the Valley.

The money is yours to use how you want: paying off an existing mortgage to end the monthly payment, covering in-home care, home repairs, everyday bills, or simply a cushion that lets you stop worrying.
