A reverse mortgage is a special type of home loan that allows a homeowner to convert a portion of the equity in his or her home into cash. The equity built up over years of home mortgage payments can be paid to you. But unlike a traditional home equity loan or second mortgage, no repayment is required until the borrower(s) no longer lives in their home. There are no income or credit requirements. To qualify you must be 62 years of age or older, own your home, and use the home as your principal residence. |
