Monterey Park Reverse Mortgage

For homeowners 62 and older · Updated August 2026

Monterey Park 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 Monterey Park homeowners use reverse mortgages

Monterey Park homeowners who bought in the 70s and 80s have seen the city become one of the most sought-after in the west San Gabriel Valley. A reverse mortgage lets longtime owners draw on that appreciation without selling, and the money can help with in-home care that keeps you in the neighborhood.

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.
