What exactly is a "Reverse Mortgage"?
With a reverse mortgage, more accurately now called a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM), homeowners age 62 or older receive a portion of their home’s equity while living in the home and with no monthly mortgage payments. The funds are tax free**, and borrowers retain ownership and title to their home as long as they:
• Live in the home as their primary residence.
• Continue to pay required property taxes and homeowners insurance.
• Maintain the home according to Federal Housing Administration requirements.
When planning for retirement, homeowners often explore the potential of using their home equity to fund their retirement dreams and gain greater financial flexibility. Reverse mortgage companies offer a solution that allows retirees to access this equity while maintaining homeownership.
In this video, we will provide a reverse mortgage explanation, covering the pros and cons, and explain the differences between reverse mortgages and traditional mortgages. You'll learn why retirees and those aspiring to retire are choosing this option to enhance their quality of life.
