Benefits of a Reverse Mortgage
Taking a loan to buy a home means borrowing a large sum from a bank and paying down that debt to increase equity and wealth in the home. With a reverse mortgage. the opposite is true. Instead of making payments, a reverse mortgage borrower uses the equity to gain income. Throughout the life of the loan the balance gets larger while the equity gets smaller.
Highlights:
- No repayment is made until the home is sold or the owner permanently moves out or passes away.
- Borrower will never owe more that the value of the home.
- No credit or income qualifications
- Interest is paid at the time the loan is repaid.
- SS benefits and Medicare are not affected (consult a tax adviser).
- Borrower owns the home. The lender does not take control of the title.
- Closing costs and fees incurred can be financed as part of the loan.
- When the loan is due, the heirs have choices. They can repay the loan and keep the house or sell the home and repay the loan.
