Reverse Mortgages For Seniors

If you are a senior trying to make ends meet on your limited income, don’t consider selling your home in case of an emergency wherein you require finances. By using a reverse mortgage, seniors 62 years or older can still live in their homes while using the equity for monthly income or receiving lump-sum payments. Belleville.com reports:

Unlike ordinary home equity loans, a Housing and Urban Development reverse mortgage does not require repayment as long as the borrower still resides in the home. Lenders recover their principal, plus interest when the home is sold. The remaining value of the home goes to the homeowner's survivors. You can never get more than your home value.
