Reverse Mortgage Loans
A reverse mortgage loan allows homeowners aged 62 or older to convert part of their home’s equity into cash without having to sell their home or make monthly mortgage payments.
Instead of you paying the lender each month, the lender pays you—either as a lump sum, monthly payments, a line of credit, or a combination of these.
You keep ownership of your home, and the loan is repaid when you sell the home, move out permanently, or pass away.
