REVERSE MORTGAGES

Retire in a Home that’s Right for You


A reverse mortgage is a way to turn the equity in your home into cash which is usually tax free* without having to make monthly mortgage payments. Instead of monthly payments, the loan is taken against a senior’s home equity and repaid in one lump sum when the last borrower leaves the home. As part of the loan, the borrower is required to continue paying property taxes, insurance and maintenance (and HOA fees, if applicable). These loans can potentially help seniors gain financial independence from increasing living expenses.
