Reverse mortgages or becoming more readily available and popular as a financing option. These mortgages are generally used by older people who have accumulated a substantial amount of equity in their home. Most lenders require the borrower to be at least 62 years of age. Reverse mortgages are a good way for them to subsidize their retirement income.
The way a reverse mortgage works is by the lender making payments to you based on the value of the equity in your home as opposed to you making payments to a lender with a traditional mortgage. Taxes and interest are added to the amount that needs repaid, decreasing the equity in the home. The lender gets their money after the house is sold or when the owner dies.
