Like a conventional mortgage, a reverse mortgage loan enables homeowners to borrow money while using their house as security for the loan. Like a traditional mortgage, the title to your property is kept in your name when you take out a reverse mortgage loan. With a reverse mortgage loan, borrowers do not make monthly mortgage payments, unlike a conventional mortgage. When the borrower vacates the property, the loan is paid back. Each month, fees and interest are added to the loan sum, which causes it to increase. To qualify for a reverse mortgage loan, a homeowner must maintain good credit, pay property taxes and homeowners insurance, and utilize the home as their primary residence.

With a reverse mortgage loan, the homeowner’s debt to the lender increases over time rather than decreases. This is due to the monthly addition of fees and interest to the loan total—your home equity declines as your loan balance rise.

Not free money, a reverse mortgage loan. It is a loan where the monthly loan balance rises due to monthly borrowing plus interest and fees. The debt will eventually need to be repaid by the homeowners or their heirs, typically by selling the house.

Who is eligible to apply for a reverse mortgage loan?

The most popular reverse mortgage loan is a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM), a particular kind of mortgage offered to homeowners aged 62 and over.

Other conditions for reverse mortgages besides age include:

Your house must be your primary residence, which means you spend most of the year there.

You must either own your property outright or have low mortgage debt. You no longer have a mortgage on your home if you own it outright. If you still owe on a mortgage, you must be able to pay it off when the reverse mortgage closes. You can use your money or money from a reverse mortgage to pay off your existing mortgage balance.

You cannot have any federal debts, such as federal student loans or income taxes. However, you are permitted to pay off this obligation with funds from the reverse mortgage loan.

You must have enough of your own money or agree to set aside some of the reverse mortgage funds at your loan closing to cover recurring property expenses, including taxes and insurance, as well as maintenance and repair expenditures.

Your house must be in decent condition. The lender will let you know what modifications are necessary before you can apply for a reverse mortgage loan if your home does not meet the acceptable property criteria.

To explore your eligibility, the financial ramifications of the loan, and other options, you must undergo counseling from a reverse mortgage counseling agency like Giraffe Lending, which HUD has approved.
