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.

Always Courteous and Responded Timely Larry was recommended by my financial planner. He was always courteous and responded timely. He went to great lengths to make sure I understood the process allowing me to make an informed decision on the plan that would work best for me. He also attended the closing to make sure I wasn't alone. I would recommend Larry to anyone seeking help with a reverse mortgage. Lynn M
