Van Nuys Reverse Mortgage

For homeowners 62 and older · Updated August 2026

Van Nuys 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 Van Nuys homeowners use reverse mortgages

Van Nuys is classic San Fernando Valley: post-war single-family homes on quiet residential streets, many owned by the same families for thirty or forty years. If you bought your Van Nuys home decades ago, you are likely sitting on far more equity than you realize, even with a mortgage still on the books.

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.
