Reverse Mortgage

Access Your Home’s Equity in Retirement

What Is a Reverse Mortgage?

A reverse mortgage is a unique financial product designed for homeowners aged 62 and older, allowing them to convert a portion of their home equity into cash. Unlike traditional mortgages, reverse mortgages don’t require monthly payments. Instead, the loan balance is repaid when the borrower sells the home, moves out permanently, or passes away.

Why Choose a Reverse Mortgage?

A reverse mortgage can be a valuable tool for retirees looking to supplement their income, cover medical expenses, or improve their quality of life without selling their home. It provides financial flexibility while allowing homeowners to remain in the property they love.

Key Benefits of a Reverse Mortgage

No Monthly Payments: You’re not required to make monthly loan payments as long as you live in the home.
Tax-Free Funds: The money you receive from a reverse mortgage is generally tax-free.
Flexibility: Use the funds for any purpose, such as covering living expenses, paying off debt, or funding home improvements.

How Does a Reverse Mortgage Work?

Eligibility: To qualify, you must be at least 62 years old, own your home outright or have significant equity, and use the home as your primary residence.
Loan Disbursement: Receive funds as a lump sum, monthly payments, a line of credit, or a combination of these options.
Repayment: The loan balance, including interest, is due when the home is sold, the homeowner moves out, or the property is inherited.

Who Qualifies for a Reverse Mortgage?

Reverse mortgages are available to:

Homeowners aged 62 or older.
Individuals who own their home outright or have substantial equity.
Borrowers whose property meets HUD’s guidelines for FHA-approved reverse mortgages (Home Equity Conversion Mortgages or HECMs).

When Should You Consider a Reverse Mortgage?

A reverse mortgage may be a good fit if you:

Want to supplement retirement income.
Plan to stay in your home long-term.
Have significant home equity but need additional liquidity.

Things to Consider Before Applying:

Loan Costs: Reverse mortgages include closing costs, origination fees, and mortgage insurance premiums, which are typically rolled into the loan balance.
Impact on Inheritance: The loan balance must be repaid, which may reduce the inheritance left to your heirs.
Property Maintenance: Borrowers are responsible for taxes, insurance, and maintenance to avoid loan default.
