Many homeowners have found that a reverse mortgage is a great way to take advantage of the equity they have built up in their homes.
A reverse mortgage is different than a traditional mortgage. Rather than paying a monthly mortgage payment to the lender, the borrower receives money from the lender, backed by a mortgage that is based on the value of the home. Borrowers can choose a one-time lump sum, monthly installments or a line of credit. The amount that you receive is dependant on your age and the value of your home and can be used for any purpose. And, since you are not required to make monthly payments, you do not need income or credit to qualify. |
