What the Heck is a Heckum?
A Home Equity Conversion Mortgage or HECM (which people in the industry pronounce Heckum) is a "program, which is aimed largely at persons 62 years or older who want
to move down the housing ladder, allows seniors to sell their current
residence and use a reverse mortgage to buy a new one, all in a single
transaction that eliminates the need for a second set of expensive
closing costs. HECM's are insured by the Federal Housing Administration."
That is taken from a Market Watch article on how to use a HECM to buy another house. A rather interesting read.
