Frequently Asked Questions

What Is a Reverse Mortgage & How Does It Work?

A reverse mortgage is a loan that enables homeowners over the age of 62, to convert part of the equity in their homes to meet their current and future financial needs.  It can create an additional cash flow without having to sell your home, give up title, or take on any new monthly mortgage payments.  

One of the largest benefits of a reverse mortgage is that there are no restrictions on how the loan proceeds can be used.  Some individuals use the funds to payoff their current mortgage, supplement their retirement income, use for estate planning, pay for medical expenses, make home improvements, and to travel.   

Reverse Mortgages represent a powerful loan product that truly has the capability of providing financial security, dignity, and can enhance your independence within your own home.

How much money can I receive?

Costs vary from one program to another.  That’s why we offer
a variety of programs to meet a variety of needs.  Most reverse mortgages however, have costs similar to traditional mortgages; such as, interest charges, origination fees, closing costs, inspections and insurance.

Do I Retain Ownership of My House?

Yes. A reverse mortgage is a lien just like a traditional mortgage.  Repayment is required when that last surviving borrower sells the house, moves or passes away.

Will the Reverse Mortgage Change My Social Security or Medicare Eligibility?

No. These benefits will not be affected by the proceeds of a reverse mortgage. These rules do vary state to state, so check with the local Area Agency on Aging, and also confer with your tax advisor.

Will My Heirs Be Against Doing a Reverse Mortgage?

No, history demonstrates that most houses continue to appreciate over time.  A high percentage of houses will have enough equity to pass down as inheritance.  Since the home will remain in your name, you have the opportunity to bequeath the property to whomever you choose.  Depending on how long the reverse mortgage is active, the amount of withdrawals you request, and the appreciation on your home; the equity in the home is subject to increase or decrease.  If there is equity in the property, it will go to you or your beneficiaries, as you wish.
