What is a reverse mortgage?
A reverse mortgage is a financial product that allows homeowners, typically aged 62 or older, to convert part of their home equity into loan proceeds while retaining ownership of their home. The loan doesn't need to be repaid until the homeowner sells the home.
Is this loan right for me?
This option might be ideal for individuals who need additional income during retirement, want to cover healthcare expenses, or wish to improve their quality of life without monthly mortgage payments. It can be particularly beneficial for those who have significant home equity and limited cash flow. However, it's essential to consider the long-term implications, such as reduced inheritance for heirs and potential fees. Consulting a financial advisor is recommended before making a decision.

Let's help make things clearer.
A reverse mortgage lets homeowners 62 or older turn some of their home equity into cash. You don’t make monthly payments—the loan is repaid later when you move, sell the home, or pass away.
You must be 62 or older, live in the home as your primary residence, and have enough equity. The home also needs to meet safety and property standards.
Yes. You keep full ownership. The bank doesn’t take your home—you just borrow against its value.
The loan is usually repaid when you move out, sell the home, or pass away. Your heirs can choose to pay it off or sell the house to settle it.
It depends on your age, home value, current interest rates, and how much equity you have. Older borrowers usually qualify for more.
No. Monthly payments are not required. The loan balance grows over time instead.
Your heirs can keep the home by paying off the loan, or they can sell the home and keep any remaining equity after the loan is paid.
There are closing costs, an FHA mortgage insurance premium (for HECMs), and interest. These can often be rolled into the loan so you don’t pay them upfront.
You won’t lose your home as long as you pay your property taxes, homeowners insurance, and keep the home in good condition.
Reverse mortgage rates can be fixed or adjustable, depending on the type of loan you choose. Interest adds to the balance each month.
Yes. Since you aren’t making payments, the loan balance increases as interest and fees are added.
Almost anything—common uses include covering living expenses, medical bills, home repairs, or paying off other debts.
The money you receive is not taxable, and it doesn’t affect Social Security or Medicare. It may affect Medicaid, depending on how you use or save the funds.
