Reverse mortgage loan programs provide lifestyle options for qualified seniors.

Whether you want fewer monthly debts or to avoid living in a nursing facility, the equity within your home may be used toward your financial goals.

Let’s review some frequently asked questions about a reverse mortgage loan.

What is a Reverse Mortgage Loan?

A reverse mortgage loan enables qualified seniors to borrow against the equity within their home without requiring monthly payments.

The loan proceeds may be used to supplement your income, make home improvements, pay off an existing mortgage lien or for other purposes. 

What are the Requirements for a Reverse Mortgage Loan?

Unlike a traditional mortgage loan, a reverse mortgage loan has a minimum age requirement. 

Eligibility starts for seniors who have reached age 62, plan to live in the subject property and have a significant amount of home equity.

If you receive a reverse mortgage, you must maintain the property and pay your homeowners insurance, property taxes and any HOA dues as agreed to avoid losing your home.

Also, the federal government requires seniors to obtain counseling prior to receiving a reverse mortgage.

Why Get a Reverse Mortgage?

Getting a reverse mortgage could be a start toward an enhanced level of comfort.

If you dislike the idea of moving away from your home or your neighborhood, using a portion of the equity within your home could pay for desirable upgrades.
