  "faqs": [
    { "question": "Do I still own my home with a reverse mortgage?", "answer": "Yes. The borrower keeps title. The lender records a lien, as with a traditional mortgage, and does not take ownership." },
    { "question": "Do I have to make a monthly mortgage payment?", "answer": "No monthly mortgage payment is required while you live in the home and keep property taxes, homeowners insurance, HOA dues, and maintenance current." },
    { "question": "What happens to my heirs?", "answer": "Heirs can keep the home by repaying the loan balance, or sell it and keep any remaining equity. HECMs are non-recourse, so no one owes more than the home's value at repayment." },
    { "question": "When does the loan become due?", "answer": "When the last borrower permanently leaves the home through sale, a permanent move, or death, or if loan obligations such as taxes, insurance, and primary residency are not met." },
    { "question": "Is a reverse mortgage a government benefit?", "answer": "No. It is a loan that must be repaid. HECMs are insured by the FHA, but the loan is made by a lender and is not a grant or benefit." },
    { "question": "Is HUD counseling really required?", "answer": "Yes, for a HECM. An independent HUD-approved counselor reviews the program, alternatives, and costs before an application can proceed." },
    { "question": "Are the proceeds taxable?", "answer": "Loan proceeds are generally not treated as taxable income, but confirm your situation with a tax professional." },
    { "question": "What will my rate, costs, or available proceeds be?", "answer": "That depends on age, home value, program, and current rates and is not published. Call (916) 624-0767 for figures specific to your situation." },
    { "question": "Can I use a reverse mortgage to buy a home?", "answer": "Yes, through HECM for Purchase, with a required down payment from your own funds." },
