Loan Highlights and benefits
A reverse mortgage can provide homeowners (over the age of 62) with a source of cash flow, eliminate the need for monthly mortgage payments, and allow homeowners to remain in their home while accessing the equity they have built up over time. However, homeowners should carefully consider the potential costs and fees associated with a reverse mortgage and consult with a mortgage advisor, like us!
- Provides access to cash flow: A reverse mortgage can provide homeowners who are 62 years or older with a steady source of cash flow by allowing them to tap into the equity they have built up in their home. This can be particularly useful for retirees who may be on a fixed income and looking for ways to supplement their retirement income.
- No monthly mortgage payments required: With a reverse mortgage, homeowners are not required to make monthly mortgage payments as long as they continue to live in the home. Instead, the loan is repaid when the home is sold or the homeowner passes away.
- Retain ownership of the home: With a reverse mortgage, the homeowner retains ownership of the home and can continue to live in it as long as they wish. As long as the homeowner meets the loan requirements, they can remain in the home and benefit from the cash flow provided by the reverse mortgage.
- Flexible payment options: Homeowners can choose from a variety of payment options with a reverse mortgage, including a lump sum payment, monthly payments, or a line of credit. This can allow homeowners to customize the payment schedule to fit their individual needs.
- Potential tax benefits: The proceeds from a reverse mortgage are generally tax-free and may not affect Social Security or Medicare benefits. However, homeowners should consult with a financial advisor to understand the potential tax implications of a reverse mortgage.
