Desire More Cash? For today or tomorrow?
By Alain Valles, MBA, MS
So many things are causing fear. Globally – world conflict, politics, and inflation. Personally – cash flow needs, mortgage payments, credit cards, medical bills, deferred home repairs, and future unexpected expenses. Â
Financial pressure and uncertainty may not only lead to higher anxiety but also being forced to sell one’s home. A reverse mortgage may be your solution to reducing financial stress and being able to afford your home.
What is a reverse mortgage?
For homeowners with at least one person being at least 62 years old with sufficient equity, a reverse mortgage is a government guaranteed loan that allows you to receive cash when needed or desired.Â
Primary Benefits of a Reverse Mortgage Are:
- No monthly mortgage payments are required
- Note – you are responsible to pay your homeowners insurance, real estate taxes, and meet loan guidelines.
- You may receive a lump sum amount of cash, a monthly check, and/or have a line of credit that grows as you get older
- Easier qualification than conventional loans
- No minimum credit score required
- May be used to pay off current mortgage and other debts
- Money received is tax free
- You continue to own and control your home
