A Reverse Mortgage is a home loan available to individuals aged 62 or older as a
payout of home equity to the borrower. Reverse mortgage borrowers can receive a lump
sum, monthly payments or hold the money in a savings account as a credit line.
In a normal "forward" mortgage you access your home’s equity through a loan and make
monthly payments to a lender, but with a Reverse Mortgage you receive payments
from the lender in return for a decrease in your home’s equity. Reverse Mortgages can
help homeowners who are "house-rich" but "cash-poor" stay in their homes, remain
independent and meet their financial obligations.
Some benefits of a Reverse Mortgage are:
No monthly payment
No income or credit requirements
Funds can be used to supplement monthly income
Reverse Mortgage loans do not have to be repaid until the death of the primary
borrower(s), the home is sold or you permanently move out of the home.
Reverse Mortgages are backed by the
Federal Housing Administration
(FHA) and are generally available up to 60% of your appraised value, depending on your
age. Counseling prior to the loan is required and available through a multitude of
sources including AARP.
Reverse Mortgages may be fixed or variable rates and can use up all or some of the
equity in your home as the payout period progresses.
