REVERSE MORTGAGE COUNSELING
A Reverse Mortgage is a unique loan that enables senior homeowners 62 years of age and older to convert a part of the equity in their homes into tax-free income without having to sell the home, give up title or take on a monthly mortgage payment.
HOW IS A REVERSE MORTGAGE DIFFERENT FROM A REGULAR MORTGAGE?
- No monthly mortgage payments
- No income or credit requirements
- Senior can receive monthly income
- Non-recourse loan – Senior will never owe more than the value of the home and no other assets are obligated for the loan.
HOW CAN SENIORS USE THESE FUNDS?
- Pay off existing mortgage
- In home care
- Property taxes
- Home repairs
- Prescription Drugs
- Vacation
- Any reason
Family Services, Inc. is a HUD housing counseling agency currently providing Reverse Mortgage Counseling free of charge to seniors. For more information or to make an appointment with a counselor please contact the Housing Department at 843-744-1348 ext. 35.
