Put the equity in your home to work for you!
For many years, you’ve watched your home increase in value. Now you need to tap into that equity to supplement your retirement income, pay bills or healthcare expenses, or just enjoy life. At the same time, you want to stay in your home and can’t afford any monthly loan payments. What can you do?
The solution may be a Reverse Mortgage.
A reverse mortgage is a unique mortgage tool designed for seniors 62 years of age and older. Based upon the equity in your home, you can receive additional tax-free income for life. Essentially, it is the “reverse” of a typical mortgage (where you make monthly payments).Instead, a reverse mortgage is a loan that pays you. You can use the cash payment(s) in any way you want. The loan is repaid ONLY when you either sell your home or no longer live there as your principal residence.
The FACTS about Reverse Mortgages:
- For homeowners 62 years of age and older
- Only your principal residence is eligible
- Allows seniors to access a portion of the equity in their home
- Loan amount depends on the property value, interest rates and the youngest borrower’s age
- NO monthly mortgage payments

- Loan origination and closing costs may be financed into the loan
- The loan is repaid when the last borrower dies or permanently leaves the property
