What is a reverse mortgage?
Dynamic but often misunderstood, a reverse mortgage is a product that homeowners struggling for liquidity simply must consider.
It is ideal for retirees who have equity in their properties but are finding the costs of day to day living challenging.
As long as you are 62 years of age, you can apply for this potentially life-changing loan that puts money back in your pocket, allowing you to continue to live in your family home.
That’s because it generates a brand new income stream by converting your equity into cash.
The result is a vastly improved standard of living and the dispelling of any thoughts about having to downsize to see out your retirement.
Funds can be transferred in a number of different ways including a line of credit, monthly installments, a lump sum or a combination of all three.
As long as the terms of the loan are met, it does not require repayment until either the homeowner sells or the last surviving borrower passes away.
It’s one of the canniest ways homeowners can enjoy their retirement in a way they may no longer have dreamed possible.
And while there has been a slight increase of 2.3% over the last 12 months, average prices remain strong at $789,763 (https://www.zillow.com/home-values/395973/gunbarrel-boulder-co/)*.
Already, 1,578 people in and around Gunbarrel have purchased a reverse mortgage with 123 buying one in the last 12 months.
