This study aims to compare reverse mortgages payment between the Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECM) model by United State and Malaysian Proposed Reverse Mortgages (MPRM) loan structure on every type of house in Kuala Lumpur. Both loan structures have slight difference in the loan amount. From gender perspectives, it shows that male received higher amount of payment received compared to female. This situation happens because the difference in the life expectancy where one of the elements of reverse mortgages payment, whereby female are longer live than male due to mortality perils. Thus, between two models, the model that gives more payment towards Malaysia elderly is HECM rather than MPRM.
