There’s a lot of misinformation out there about reverse mortgages, so let’s separate the facts from the fiction. To qualify for a #reversemortgage, you must own your home or have a low mortgage balance, but you don’t have to surrender the title... you retain ownership. A reverse mortgage is a way for #seniorhomeowners to generate additional cash flow in retirement by tapping into the equity in their home… and it is not merely a lifeline for those in financial desperation. Reverse mortgage rates are not high and depending on the type of loan that you choose, the rates are often comparable to a traditional mortgage. A reverse mortgage, however, does eliminate monthly mortgage and interest payments, and the resulting savings gives you additional cash to fund a more comfortable lifestyle in retirement. Your heirs will have the option to either sell the home or refinance it- and utilize the proceeds to repay the loan- when the time for a payoff occurs. In fact, depending on how the value of your home appreciates over time, a reverse mortgage could provide a source of equity to those same heirs if they simply choose to sell it.
