Reverse mortgages (also called "home equity conversion loans") enable older homeowners to benefit from their built-up home equity without having to sell their home. The lender pays out funds determined by your home equity amount; you receive a one-time amount, a monthly payment or a line of credit. The loan does not have to be repaid until the borrower sells the home, moves away, or dies. You or an estate representative has to pay back the reverse mortgage amount, interest , and finance fees after your house is sold, or you no longer live in it.
The requirements of a reverse mortgage usually are being sixty-two or older, maintaining the home as your primary residence, and having a small remaining mortgage balance or having paid it off.
Homeowners who live on a limited income and need additional money find reverse mortgages helpful for their situation. Social Security and Medicare benefits can't be affected; and the money is nontaxable. Reverse Mortgages may have adjustable or fixed interest rates. Your residence will never be at risk of being taken away from you by the lender or put up for sale against your will if you outlive your loan term - even if the property value creeps under the balance of the loan.
