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
