Reverse mortgage borrowers are required to keep current with property taxes, homeowner’s insurance, and homeowner’s association fees, if applicable. They must also maintain the home to a standard that complies with HUD or the lender’s guidelines. Failure to meet these obligations can lead to foreclosure of the reverse mortgage.
