A reverse mortgage is a home loan and not a government benefit. The borrowers must continue to own and occupy the property as the primary residence and are responsible for paying property taxes, homeowner's insurance, and property maintenance.
A reverse mortgage is a rising debt, falling equity loan. Negative amortization causes the loan balance to increase as accrued interest and fees are added. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the loan could trigger a loan default that results in foreclosure.
Subject to underwriting approval. Application is required and not all applicants will be approved. Full documentation and property insurance required. Loan secured by a lien against your property. Fees and charges apply and may vary by product and state. Terms, conditions and restrictions apply.
