What is a reverse mortgage?

A reverse mortgage is a home-secured loan that’s exclusively for homeowners and homebuyers age 62 and older. It allows borrowers to convert some of the equity in their home into income-tax-free funds. (Not tax advice, consult a tax professional.) There are different loan products to choose from that offer you options on what interest rate you are charged, how much money you can access, and how you receive your payments. Unlike a regular “forward” mortgage or traditional home equity loan or home equity line of credit, there are no monthly principal and interest payments as long as at least one of the borrowers lives in the home as their primary residence. As with any mortgage, in order for the loan to remain in good standing, the borrower must also keep up with property-related taxes, insurance and upkeep.

Outstanding in Handling Everything Please let all at Mutual of Omaha know that you and your staff were outstanding in handling all the completed matters associated with getting this purchase loan done. We had realtors on vacation in Mexico and an estate representative on vacation in China creating many challenges. My realtor lost control and your efforts allowed us to get all the paperwork done and close the deal. Thanks again, I am so happy with the new digs and just finished up my new cash flow. I am free for life!  Wow, such an exciting moment.
