How Does the Reverse How Does the Reverse Mortgage Work?Mortgage Work?
Basically, the interest on the borrowed amount accumulates and is added to the principal. Both the accumulated interest and principal are paid back from the sale of the home at a later date.
Unlike a traditional mortgage the borrower has no responsibility to make monthly or periodic payments as with a traditional mortgage.
No repayment is required as long as borrowers occupy the property. However, if borrowers repay any portion of the principal, it will be available for them to borrower again.

Primary Types of Reverse Primary Types of Reverse Mortgage LoansMortgage Loans
Annual Adjustable rateMonthly Adjustable rate The amount of principal available to a
borrower is based on the type of mortgage a borrower chooses, age and HUD maximum limits. The monthly adjustable typically provides the greatest amount of money and is the most popular choice among borrowers.
Payment OptionsPayment Options
1. Lump sum to pay off an existing mortgage or for any other reason such as purchasing a new car.
2. Line of Credit similar to an equity line.
3. Monthly fixed payment.4. Combination of 1, 2 or 3. Borrower can change payment options monthly if
they choose for a small fee, typically $20 per change.
More about the Line of More about the Line of CreditCredit
If the borrowers choose the LOC option, they will find that the LOC grows annually. The growth rate is the interest rate charged during the loan. This means that every year the LOC increases allowing more funds to be available to the borrowers in future years.
For example, a typical reverse mortgage may have a 6.5% interest rate during year 1. At the end of the year a $150,000 LOC would then be at $159,750 allowing borrowers to access a little more of their equity.
The fixed monthly payment option already factors in an anticipated growth rate.

Drawbacks to Reverse Drawbacks to Reverse MortgageMortgage
Equity in home will diminish with each passing year as interest accumulates. This means less equity in your estate to be passed on to heirs.
Closings Costs include a 2% loan fee, mortgage insurance fee of 2% payable to the federal government, and other normal closing costs.
Interest is not tax deductible until home is sold or paid off.
For most, the benefits far out-weigh the drawbacks.
Commonly Asked Commonly Asked QuestionsQuestions
Do I lose my home once I do a Reverse Mortgage? No, it is still your home and you can sell or refinance at any time. You are still responsible for paying your property taxes, homeowners insurance and normal maintenance.
Do I have to live in the home? You must live in the home for 6 months out of the year. If you don’t live in the home for 12 consecutive months or more you may be required to sell.
Can I rent out the home? No, you cannot convert the home to a rental property.
More questionsMore questions What happens to my remaining equity
when I die or sell? The remaining equity goes to your estate just as it would with a normal mortgage.
What happens if the accumulated principal & interest is more than the value of the home when it is sold? The FHA insurance pays the difference. You or your estate have no responsibility to pay any loss. The reverse mortgage is a non-recourse mortgage. Any other assets you may have are protected because of the FHA insurance.
