Reverse mortgages (sometimes referred to as "home equity conversion loans") enable older homeowners to tap into equity without the necessity of selling their home. The lender gives you funds determined by your home equity amount; you receive a one-time amount, a payment every month or a line of credit. Repayment isn't necessary until when the borrower puts his home up for sale, moves (such as to a retirement community) or dies. At the time you sell your home or is no longer used as your main residence, you (or your estate) must repay the lender for the cash you got from the reverse mortgage in addition to interest among other fees.
Most reverse mortgages are offered to borrowers who are at least 62 years of age, have a low or zero balance owed against the home and maintain the home as your principal living place.
Many homeowners who live on a limited income and need additional money find reverse mortgages helpful for their situation. Social Security and Medicare benefits can't be affected; and the funds are not taxable. Reverse Mortgages may have adjustable or fixed interest rates. The lending institution cannot take the property away if you outlive your loan nor will you be forced to sell your home to repay the loan amount even if the balance grows to exceed property value.
