Reverse Mortgages
A reverse mortgage is a special type of home loan that lets a homeowner convert a portion of the equity in his or her home into cash. With reverse mortgages, homeowners at least 62 years in age are able to capitalize on the equity they have in their homes. Unlike traditional home equity loans, these special loans do not have to be repaid until the borrower(s) is no longer living in the home.
The amount of money available to the borrower is determined by the value of their home, interest rates, and the age of the borrower(s). Proceeds can be received in the form of a lump sum, monthly payments, a line of credit or a combination of these options.
