FAQ

What Is a Reverse Mortgage?

A reverse mortgage is a special type of loan for homeowners aged 62+ that lets you convert a portion of the equity in your home into cash.

Why Should I consider one?

This loan may be useful for someone who expects to live in their home for several years, and would like extra money to do so.

What's the difference between a reverse mortgage and a regular home equity loan?

Unlike a traditional home equity loan, you don’t have to repay a reverse mortgage loan until you either no longer live in the home as your principal residence or you fail to meet the obligations of the mortgage.

How much does a reverse mortgage cost?

Just like with a traditional mortgage, there are closing costs associated with a reverse mortgage.

Are reverse mortgage a scam?

Reverse mortgages themselves are not a scam, but there are unscrupulous people and companies that sometimes use reverse mortgages to exploit consumers.

Is this your forever home?

Reverse mortgages are expensive, so if you or your spouse would want to move later on, you’re better off selling and downsizing.

How much can you borrow?

Your maximum loan size is based on your home equity, your age, and interest rates.

What it will cost?

Mortgage insurance and closing costs are similar to those of a traditional mortgage.
