Understanding Reverse Mortgages

Learn about reverse mortgages from a Home Equity Retirement Specialist.

A reverse mortgage is a federally backed program designed to allow older homeowners (aged 62+) to tap into the equity they have built up in their homes and use those funds as they see fit.  Benefits are based on age, current interest rates and home values.  Any liens on the property must be paid in full from the proceeds of the loan.  Borrowers always retain title to their homes, no monthly principal and interest payments required and all proceeds are tax free.  Loans are due and payable when borrower(s) are no longer living in their homes as a primary residence. Please join us to learn more about this program.

Contact mzimmerman@alexlibraryva.org for more information.
