Reverse Mortgage Basics
You have to beat least 62 and own a home with considerable equity to qualify for a reverse mortgage. A reverse mortgage enables you to access home equity to improve cash flow. You have no personal responsibility to repay the loan. Your heirs have no personal responsibility to repay the loan.
You DO have personal responsibility to maintain the home as your primary residence and to pay property taxes and insurance.
Single family residences, duplexes, tri- and fourplexes qualify for reverse mortgages, as do many condominiums and manufactured homes.
