What Is A Reverse Mortgage?

For those over the age of 62 and who own at least 75% of the equity in their home, a reverse mortgage allows them to cash out the equity through the receipt of a monthly term payment or access to a line of credit to draw upon. In other words, the lender provides cash to the homeowner on a recurring basis and the interest is simply accrued over the lifetime of the loan. The loan’s principle and interest do not need to be repaid until the home is sold or the owner has passed away.
