What is a Reverse Mortgage?
With a Reverse Mortgage (also known as a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage), you borrow money against your home as a guarantee for the loan, as you would for a traditional mortgage. Most borrowers use this loan to help pay for living expenses. Unlike a traditional mortgage, though, a reverse mortgage is repaid when the borrower(s) no longer live in the home. Your loan balance will go up over time as fees and interest are added to the loan balance each month, which means your equity decreases.
Borrowers must be at least 62 years old and have substantial equity in their home. You are still responsible for property taxes and homeowner’s insurance.
