Reverse Mortgages -- The Facts
The fundamental difference between reverse mortgages and conventional mortgages is that in a conventional mortgage you pay monthly payment on your loan, and in a reverse mortgage you get paid monthly payments against the equity in your home.
The monthly payments that you receive from your lender in reverse mortgages are still part of a loan that you must pay back. However, you don't have to pay the loan back for as long as you stay in your home. In the event that you cease to live in your home as your primary residence, or you pass away, the loan must then be repaid.
To be eligible for a Reverse Mortgage you need to be 62 years old or older, living in your home, and either own your own home outright, or only owe a small amount on your existing mortgage.
In general, reverse mortgages are tax-free and have no income restrictions. Additionally, most payments from reverse mortgages won't affect Social Security or Medicare benefits.
There are three types of reverse mortgages. With the exception of single-purpose reverse mortgages, which are offered through select state and local government agencies and not-for-profit organizations, private lenders can offer federally insured reverse mortgages (with appropriate government approval) and proprietary reverse mortgages.
The amount of money that you can borrow on federal and proprietary reverse mortgages will vary for every applicant. Some of the variables that are taken into consideration when determining the loan amount are your age, the value of your home, the home's location, whether you owe any money on your home, and the current interest rates.
