As a Senior Homeowner, you may find the extra money
obtainable with a Reverse Mortgage to be of great benefit
to your wants and needs. Here you will learn what a
Reverse Mortgage is, and how a Reverse Mortgage works.
You qualify for a Reverse Mortgage if you are at least
age 62 and own your home. With a Reverse Mortgage, you
retain full ownership and control of your home.
With a Reverse Mortgage, you may continue to receive
income for as long as you live at home - no matter how
long that may be.
All Reverse Mortgages are non-recourse loans, which
mean you can never ever owe more than your home's value
- no matter what. Reverse Mortgage lenders can only
look to your home's value for repayment - even if you
end up receiving more than your home's future worth.
With a Reverse Mortgage, you and the lender are insured
against loss, so you can never ever be forced from your
home (you own it). The Reverse Mortgage does not have
to be repaid until after you permanently vacate your
home.
What is a Reverse Mortgage?
Reverse Mortgages were created specifically for older
Homeowners who own their home outright, or owe little
on it. These Seniors may use the extra cash for living
expenses - or to just improve the quality of their lives.
A Reverse Mortgage is a home loan for Seniors that
does not have to be repaid for as long as they continue
to live in their home. They can receive a loan in a
variety of ways. For example: They can receive a Lump
Sum of Money, or a Line-of-Credit that lets them decide
how much of their equity to use, or a Monthly Advance
for whatever term the Senior decides, or any combination
of these Cash Advance Choices.
For older Homeowners, a Reverse Mortgage can satisfy
a variety of needs: You can use the money to payoff
debts, deal with financial emergencies, travel, increase
your monthly income, pay for home improvements, help
your children or grandchildren, or establish a Cash
Reserve for future needs. There are many more possibilities.
How Does A Reverse Mortgage Work?
A Reverse Mortgage is a loan from a lender on the equity
in your home. You retain title, ownership and control
of your home. The lender receives a recorded lien but
never goes on title with you.
With a Reverse Mortgage, the lender sends cash to you.
The more cash you receive the greater the loan balance,
but you make no monthly repayments as long as you live
at home.
A Reverse Mortgage is a 'Non-Recourse' loan. This means
the lender can only look to your home's value for repayment.
Said payment is due only after you die, sell, or permanently
move. That payment comes out of the equity in your home
or any other means you chose.
Any excess equity goes to you if you vacate the home
or your heirs. Typically, the property is sold and the
loan is repaid. Any remaining equity belongs to you
or your heirs.
