What Is A Reverse Mortgage?
It is a loan available to homeowners 62 years or older that allows them to convert part of the equity in their homes into cash. Those loan payments made to you come from reverse mortgage lenders, or holders of the mortgage.
Over the past decade, reverse mortgages have grown from less than 8,000 annually to greater than 100,000.
While they are similar to home-equity loans, there are several distinct differences. With a reverse mortgage:
- You have to be 62 years or older to quality
- The amount you receive is dependent on your age and the value of your home
- Interest rates play a role in establishing the amount you will receive
