The Complete Indiana Reverse Mortgage Guide

Your maximum equity withdrawal, preparation checklist, out-of-pocket costs, and the exact step-by-step processing timeline for Indiana homeowners age 62 and older.

1. The Federal Part, in One Place

HECM is an FHA program, so the document checklist, the upfront costs and the financial assessment and closing are the same everywhere. This page is the Indiana part.

2. The Step-by-Step Indiana Timeline

Once your documents are gathered, here is exactly what happens over the next 30 to 45 days.

1

HUD-Approved Counseling

Required by federal law to protect you. You will complete an independent, 60-minute telephone session with a HUD-approved agency. The counselor ensures you fully understand the loan mechanics, alternatives, and costs. A lender cannot process your application until you receive your Counseling Certificate. In Indiana, you can reach out to Money Management International (MMI) at (877) 908-2227, or search the public HUD directory for other options.

2

Application & The FHA Appraisal

Your lender submits the formal application, generates your FHA Case Number, and orders an independent appraisal. FHA Minimum Property Standards: the appraiser isn't just looking at value; they ensure the home is safe. Exposed wiring, severe roof damage, or peeling paint (on pre-1978 homes) may need repair before the loan can close.
