What is a Reverse Mortgage?
If you’re 62 and older, you can use a reverse mortgage loan to purchase a new home, or turn your current home’s equity into cash. A reverse mortgage loan gives retirees the opportunity to potentially increase their purchase power or cash flow while eliminating monthly mortgage payments. You are still required to pay property taxes, homeowners insurance, and maintain the home. Here are just a few reasons why you should consider a reverse mortgage.
Benefits
- No monthly mortgage payments except for taxes, insurance, and maintenance
- Growing line of credit (applies to unused funds)
- Increased discretionary cash flow
- Can sell YOUR home at any time
- Does not require payment until last living borrower permanently leaves the home
- Bridge the medicare gap
- Increase your purchasing power
Eligibility

You probably
have questions...
Here are just a few questions we get, you can view more FAQ’s by clicking below.
Does the reverse mortgage lender own your home?
You remain the owner of your property. There is no change to the deed or title of your home when completing a reverse mortgage.
What happens when the homeowner dies with a reverse mortgage?
When the last surviving borrower dies, the reverse mortgage loan typically becomes due and payable. However the loan is a non-recourse loan so your heirs will never owe more than the home’s value when the loan is due and payable, and the home is sold.
How do you come up with how much money I need at closing?
The down payment you will need to bring to closing will be determined based on your age, interest rates at the time and the sales price (or appraised value, whichever is less) of the home you are buying.
What happens if at any time the amount you owe under a reverse mortgage is greater than what your home is worth?
Nothing as long as you still live in your home and pay taxes, homeowners insurance, and maintenance.
