which of the following is a payment option for the hecm loan program?
The Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) reverse mortgage program offers several standard payment options, not just one. The most commonly recognized options are: line of credit, term payments, tenure payments, modified term/tenure (combo with line of credit), and single-disbursement lump sum.
Core HECM Payment Options
- Line of credit – You are approved for a credit line and can draw cash as needed up to your limit, paying interest only on what you actually use.
- Term payments – You receive fixed monthly payments for a set number of years that you choose (for example, 10 or 15 years).
- Tenure payments – You receive equal monthly payments for as long as you live in the home as your primary residence and meet loan obligations.
- Single-disbursement lump sum – You take all (or the allowed maximum) of your available funds at closing in one upfront payment, often used to pay off an existing mortgage or large expense.
- Modified term / modified tenure – Combination plans where you get smaller monthly payments (term or tenure) plus a line of credit you can draw on when needed.
Likely “Correct” Option on a Test
If you are answering a multiple‑choice question like “Which of the following is a payment option for the HECM loan program?”, any of these listed terms would be valid HECM options:
- Line of credit
- Term payments
- Tenure payments
- Modified term (or modified term/line of credit)
- Modified tenure (or modified tenure/line of credit)
- Single-disbursement lump sum
So, if only one of those appears among unrelated choices, that one is the correct answer.
