Why Consider a Reverse Mortgage?

A reverse mortgage can be a powerful financial tool for retirement planning and addressing unexpected expenses.

No Monthly Payments

Unlike a traditional mortgage, you don't make monthly payments. The loan is repaid when you sell or pass away.

Keep Your Home

You maintain full ownership of your home. Live there as long as you wish while accessing your equity.

Flexible Fund Access

Receive funds as a lump sum, monthly payments, or a line of credit—whatever suits your retirement needs.

How a Reverse Mortgage Works

1

You Own Your Home (Age 62+)

You're at least 62 years old and own your home outright or have paid down most of your mortgage.

2

Borrow Against Your Equity

Access a loan amount based on your home's current value, your age, and current interest rates.

3

Receive Funds Your Way

Choose a lump sum payment, monthly installments, or an open credit line you can access as needed.

4

No Monthly Payments

Keep living in your home. You won't owe monthly payments as long as you stay in the home.

5

Loan Repaid When You Move or Pass

The loan is repaid from the sale of your home or from your estate when you pass. Any remaining equity goes to your heirs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to my home when I pass away? +

Your heirs inherit the home. They can choose to keep it, sell it, or sell it to pay off the reverse mortgage. Any remaining equity after the loan is repaid goes to them.

Will a reverse mortgage affect my Medicare or Social Security? +

In most cases, a reverse mortgage won't affect Medicare or Social Security benefits. However, Medicaid eligibility can be affected. We recommend consulting with a financial advisor about your specific situation.

What are the costs of a reverse mortgage? +

Reverse mortgages typically include origination fees, closing costs, and mortgage insurance. These costs are paid from the loan proceeds or added to the loan balance. We'll provide a detailed breakdown of all costs upfront.

Can I have a co-borrower on a reverse mortgage? +

Yes. If you're married, both spouses can be on the loan. This is important for protection after one spouse passes away.

Can I sell my home if I have a reverse mortgage? +

Yes. You can sell your home at any time. The reverse mortgage is paid off from the sale proceeds, and you keep any remaining equity.
