Reverse Mortgage Definition

A reverse mortgage is a special type of home loan that allows you to get cash for the equity in your home. However, unlike traditional home loans, borrowers do not have to make monthly payments towards the loan. The mortgage is paid back when the borrowers no longer use the real estate as their principal residence or fail to meet the requirements of the mortgage. The amount paid back includes the equity taken out, interest on the loan, and other applicable charges.

  • Be at least 62 years old.
  • Own a home that you occupy as a primary residence.
  • Have a qualifying property type.
  • Have equity in the property.
  • Have spoken to a reverse mortgage counselor.
  • How Much Can You Borrow?

    The amount of a reverse mortgage depends on how old you are, the prevailing interest rates, the appraised value of the real estate, and FHA mortgage insurance restrictions. Older borrowers are allowed to use a higher amount equity. The funds can be received all at once, on a monthly basis, or through a line of credit.
