The Stigma is Gone

Reverse Mortgages are now an acceptable element of a person’s retirement strategy.

In it’s simplest definition, a reverse mortgage is simply a loan. The top prospect is a homeowner who is 62 or older with considerable home equity. This homeowner can borrow against the value of their home and receive funds. The dollars they receive may be a lump sum, fixed monthly payment or line of credit. This is different than a forward mortgage, which is the type used to buy a home.

The truth is that reverse mortgages can actually be a helpful financial planning tool for retirees.
Using a reverse mortgage is no longer just for the cash poor and house rich.” said Jamie Hopkins, an associate professor of taxation at The American College in Bryn Mawr, Pa. “Instead, reverse mortgages can be used strategically as one part of a retirement income plan. It can be designed to build a buffer against sequence of returns risk early in retirement. The loan can also help defer Social Security benefits.”
