Understanding Reverse Mortgages Print E-mail

A reverse mortgage is a unique financial tool that lets homeowners 62+ years of age use the equity they have accumulated in their homes by turning it into extra cash or monthly income with no repayments. By converting equity into income, a reverse mortgage can give you cash for any purpose– whether you want it for living expenses, paying off existing debt, healthcare, learning new skills, getting a college degree, or even seeing the world with family and friends. And best of all, you retain the title and remain living in your own home!
