Make The Most Of Retirement! Homeownership is likely the most important wealth-building move you made in life. When you retire and your income flow changes, the home equity you've built over the years can serve as a resource to provide financial security and peace of mind. If you are a retiree looking for a way to manage your expenses, preserve your legacy, and promote your peace of mind, a reverse mortgage may be just the solution for you.
What Is A Reverse Mortgage? A reverse mortgage allows you to borrow against the equity you've established in your home. Instead of making monthly payments, you can choose to receive them. That's the "reverse" part of a reverse mortgage. To be eligible, you must be age 62 or older and own your home free and clear or have a remaining mortgage balance that can be paid off by the reverse mortgage. In most cases a reverse mortgage gives you access to tax-free funds, but consult a tax advisor to confirm that.
Why Get A Reverse Mortgage? There are no restrictions on how you may use proceeds received through a reverse mortgage. You can direct the funds toward a variety of purposes, including: • Eliminating existing mortgage • Supplementing retirement income • Remodeling or repairing your home • Paying property taxes • Covering healthcare expenses • Planning for long-term care needs
