What Is A Reverse Mortgage?
A reverse mortgage is a loan for homeowners who are 62 years and older that utilizes a portion of the equity in your home as collateral; these type of loans have grown in popularity over the last ten years and with new Federal Housing Administration (FHA) regulations, you do not have to repay the loan for as long as you live in the home and you retain ownership of the property.
Your heirs (the estate) can then decide, if they want to refinance the loan in something akin to a traditional mortgage or sell the home to pay off the balance, but only after the homeowner(s) have passed away. There are a few FHA requirements in order to be eligible for a reverse mortgage; you must be at least 62 years old and owe little to nothing on the home; all existing liens must be satisfied.
