With a reverse mortgage loan (also called a home equity conversion loan), homeowners of a certain age may use home equity for living expenses without having to sell their homes. Choosing between a monthly payment amount, a line of credit, or a one-time payment, you may take out a loan amount determined by your equity. Repayment isn't required until the time the homeowner puts his home up for sale, moves (such as into a retirement community) or passes away. You or an estate representative has to pay back the reverse mortgage funds, interest , and other finance fees at the time your home is sold, or you are no longer living in it.
The requirements of a reverse mortgage loan generally include being 62 or older, using the property as your primary living place, and holding a low remaining mortgage balance or having paid it off.
Many homeowners who are on a fixed income and have a need for additional money find reverse mortgages ideal for their situation. Interest rates may be fixed or adjustable while the funds are nontaxable and don't interfere with Social Security or Medicare benefits. The house is never at risk of being taken away by the lending institution or sold against your will if you outlive the loan term - even if the property value goes below the loan balance.
