What is a reverse mortgage?

A reverse mortgage is a unique financial tool that allows seniors to access the equity in their homes. The reverse mortgage loan requires no monthly payments or fees. Instead, the lender pays you. No payments are due as long as you remain in your home. The loan balance only becomes due when you move from your home or pass away.

Be 62 or older
Own a single-family home or condo with some equity
Occupy the property as your primary residence
