What is a reverse mortgage?
Buying a home means borrowing a large sum from a bank and paying down that debt to increase equity and wealth in the home. With a reverse mortgage, the opposite is true. Instead of making payments, a reverse mortgage borrower uses equity to gain income. Throughout the life of the loan, the balance may grow, while the equity decreases.
For many, retirement is a mixed blessing. On one hand it is a time to enjoy family and friends, explore special interests, cultivate new skills and enjoy life to the fullest. But retirement years can present special challenges too. All too often, people find themselves in need of extra income just to keep up. CHL focuses on helping seniors to live comfortably and securely by turning the equity in their home into extra cash or monthly income.
We understand that each individual's need are as unique as they are and that's why we offer reverse mortgage options to suit your own special needs.
If you are 62 years of age or older and have equity in home that you own, a reverse mortgage can turn that equity into cash, a line of credit, monthly income or any combination of the three. There is no income qualification. You always retain home-ownership and can live in the home for as long as you choose.
What are some of the benefits of a reverse mortgage?
- Strengthen your personal and financial independence.
- Help pay for health care or other needs.
- You can never lose your home in foreclosure as long as you maintain the property tax and insurance payments.
- The loan is only paid off when the house is sold by you or your heirs, or all borrowers move out of the house.
- Keep your Medicare or Social Security benefits.
- Use it as a credit line and draw upon it as needed.
- Get all your cash right away.
- Get the best of both—get cash now and have a balance in reserve to use as a credit line.
- No Income Requirements: The homeowner does not need to be working and is not qualified based on income.
As the homeowner receives monthly cash income, the loan balance increases. In the following twelve-month example, the homeowner begins with a debt-free home. As money is received by the homeowner, the mortgage grows. By the end of month twelve, the homeowner owes the bank $6,000 plus $232.44 interest. All Reverse Mortgage loans have a variable rate.
