A reverse mortgage is a loan available to homeowners aged 62 and older that lets you access a portion of your home’s equity as tax-free cash — without having to sell your home or make monthly mortgage payments. It’s designed to help you stay in your home and use your equity to support your financial goals in retirement.
With a reverse mortgage, you remain the homeowner and continue living in the home as your primary residence. The loan is repaid only when the home is sold, you move out, or the last borrower passes away. You’re still responsible for property taxes, homeowner’s insurance, and basic upkeep.
You can choose how to receive the funds — as a lump sum, monthly payments, line of credit, or a combination.
Many homeowners use reverse mortgage funds to:
Eliminate monthly mortgage payments
Buy a new home (H4P program)
Cover medical expenses or long-term care needs
Help family members with gifts or support
Supplement retirement income
Increase financial flexibility and peace of mind
