Is a Reverse Mortgage for You?

Reverse mortgages (also referred to as "home equity conversion loans") enable older homeowners to use their equity without having to sell their home. Choosing between a monthly payment, a line of credit, or a lump sum, you can receive a loan amount determined by your home equity. Paying back your loan is not necessary until the homeowner puts his home up for sale, moves (such as to a care facility) or passes away or fails to comply with loan terms. You or an estate representative must repay the reverse mortgage loan, interest accrued, and finance charges when your property is sold, or you can no longer call it your primary residence.

Who is Able to Participate?

Usually, reverse mortgages require you to be at least 62 years of age, have a small or zero balance owed against your home and maintain the home as your principal living place.

Homeowners who are on a limited income and have a need for additional money find reverse mortgages helpful for their circumstance. Social Security and Medicare benefits aren't affected; and the funds are nontaxable.* Please consult a tax professional.  Reverse Mortgages may have adjustable or fixed interest rates. Your lender will not take the property away if you outlive your loan and comply with all loan terms; nor you or your heirs be personally responsible for a balance above the value of your home.
