What is a Reverse Mortgage

If you’re 62 or older and looking for money to finance a home improvement, pay off your current mortgage, supplement your retirement income, or pay for healthcare expenses, you may be considering a reverse mortgage.

The Federal Trade Commission describes a reverse mortgage as follows:

It’s a product that allows you to convert part of the equity in your home into cash without having to sell your home or take on additional monthly bills.

In a “regular” mortgage, you make monthly payments to the lender. In a “reverse” mortgage, you receive money from the lender and generally don’t have to pay it back for as long as you live in your home. Instead, the loan is repaid when you die, sell your home, or when your home is no longer your principal residence.

The proceeds of a reverse mortgage generally are tax-free, and many reverse mortgages have no income restrictions.
