OUR MORTGAGE BROKERAGE FIRM IN SANTA ROSA, CA SPECIALIZES IN REVERSE MORTGAGES

Many retirees have a significant portion of their net worth tied up in their home equity. A reverse mortgage is a way for a homeowner who is age 62 or older to borrow against the value of their home. This can provide much-needed cash to supplement Social Security and other retirement income sources. However, they can be complicated and costly. Reverse mortgages certainly aren't right for everyone, but for some homeowners with limited income and assets, they could be a lifesaver.

WHAT IS A REVERSE MORTGAGE?

Homeowners over the age of 62 who own their homes outright, or have considerable equity in their homes, can use a reverse home loan to assess the money they have tied up in home equity. They may receive funds in the form of a lump sum, monthly payments, or a line of credit. The homeowner does not make payments on the loan. The balance of the loan becomes due and payable either upon the borrower's death or when they move and sell the house.

Lenders must structure a reverse mortgage so that the loan amount is not higher than the home's value. A drop in the home's market value could cause the loan amount to exceed that value. In that case, the borrower and their estate are not responsible for paying the difference.

This is a basic overview of the reverse mortgage:

  • Available to homeowners with significant home equity, ages 62 and older
  • Designed to convert your home equity into cash income
  • Most are federally insured
