Many homeowners have found that a reverse mortgage is a great way for them to take advantage of the equity they have built up in their homes.
A reverse mortgage is different than a traditional mortgage. With a traditional mortgage you make monthly mortgage payments, but with a reverse mortgage the lenders pays you money through monthly installments or a one-time lump sum payment. The money that you receive is dependant on your age and the value of your home.
The following "ends" a reverse mortgage and thus the funds have to be paid back:
a. the home is no longer a primary residence, or the borrower sells the home.
b. the last borrower living in the home passes away. The estate then has 1 year to sell the home, refinance the home, or simply payoff the reverse.
A borrower who receives a reverse mortgage is still responsible for their insurance and property taxes.
