A reverse home mortgage is a unique financial tool designed to help older homeowners convert part of the equity in their homes into tax-free income without having to sell their home or make monthly mortgage payments. Unlike a traditional mortgage where the borrower makes payments to a lender, with a reverse mortgage, the lender makes payments to the homeowner. This product is primarily aimed at retirees who have built up substantial equity in their homes and are looking for a way to supplement their income during retirement. In this video, we will explain what a reverse mortgage is, how it works, who can qualify, the benefits and potential risks, and how to apply if you decide it’s the right option for your financial needs.
A reverse mortgage allows homeowners age sixty-two or older to borrow against the value of their home. The most common type is the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage, or HECM, which is federally insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). With an HECM, borrowers can receive funds as a lump sum, monthly payments, a line of credit, or a combination of these options. The loan is repaid only when the borrower sells the home, moves out permanently, or passes away. At that time, the proceeds from the sale of the home are used to repay the loan, and any remaining equity goes to the homeowner or their heirs.
To qualify for a reverse mortgage, a homeowner must be at least sixty-two years old and either own their home outright or have a small remaining mortgage balance that can be paid off with the proceeds from the reverse mortgage. The home must be the borrower’s primary residence, and they must continue to live in it for the loan to remain in good standing. Eligible properties include single-family homes, two- to four-unit properties with the borrower occupying one unit, HUD-approved condominiums, and certain manufactured homes that meet FHA requirements.
