What is a Reverse Mortgage?
A Reverse Mortgage is a federally insured financial tool that allows senior homeowners age 62 and older to access a portion of their home equity and convert it into tax-free retirement income. It gives you the financial security and supplemental retirement cash flow to stay at home and live independently—without having to sell your home, give up the title, or make monthly mortgage payments.
It's called a Reverse Mortgage because unlike a forward mortgage where you make payments, a Reverse Mortgage actually pays you. Flexible and safe, you make no Reverse Mortgage payments and will maintain the title for as long as you live in your home. When the loan is due, the amount you or your loved one’s owe will not be more than the appraised value of the home. And any equity that remains in your home remains yours—not the bank's.
