Reverse Mortgage Loans

Many homeowners have found that a Reverse Mortgage Loan is a great way for them to take advantage of the equity they have built up in their homes.

A Reverse Mortgage Loan is different than a traditional mortgage. With a traditional mortgage loan you make monthly mortgage payments, but with a Reverse Mortgage Loan the lender pays you money through monthly installments, a one-time lump sum payment, a line of credit, or a combination of a line of credit and monthly installments. The money that you receive is dependent on your age, the value of your home, and the current interest rate.

One of the great advantages of a Reverse Mortgage Loan is that you are not required to pay the loan back until the home is no longer your primary residence, you fail to maintain the home, fail to pay property taxes and/or homeowner’s insurance, or do not otherwise comply with the terms of the loan.

If you’re aged 62 or older and own your home you might be eligible for a Reverse Mortgage Loan. Contact us to find out more about Reverse Mortgage Loans and ways to make them work for you.

Are Reverse Mortgage Loans Safe?

You’ve worked hard to pay the mortgage on your home. With a Reverse Mortgage Loan you can receive a portion of the equity that you earned. A federally insured HECM Reverse Mortgage Loan can help you unlock that equity by increasing your monthly cash flow. Rest easy knowing you’re protected because with a Reverse Mortgage Loan you can:

  • Access the equity in your home and stay in your home as long as you want. However, if you move, pass away, fail to pay property taxes or homeowners insurance, or otherwise fail to comply with the loan terms then you could be forced to sell your home or repay the loan.
  • Receive an annuity-like stream of cash flow for as long as you—the borrower(s)—remain in the home, maintain the home, continue to stay current with property tax and homeowner’s insurance payments, and otherwise comply with the loan terms. Some borrowers elect to receive a lump-sum payment rather than the monthly payments.

What is a Reverse Mortgage Loan?

A Reverse Mortgage Loan is a loan designed to allow seniors to draw upon the equity in their homes. Seniors can select to receive the loan proceeds either by a lump sum payment, by monthly installments, as a line of credit, or as a combination of a line of credit and monthly installments thus providing cash flow even after retirement. The reason this type of loan is called a “Reverse Mortgage Loan” is because the loan proceeds are paid to the home owner.

Eventually the money paid to the homeowner is repaid with interest, however the loan generally does not become due until the borrower passes away, sells the home, no longer maintains the home as the primary residence, or fails to pay property taxes, homeowners insurance, or otherwise fails to comply with the loan terms.
