Are you considering a reverse mortgage but feeling hesitant due to the myths surrounding it? Let's uncover the truth and help you make an informed decision about this valuable financial tool.
Myth #1: You lose ownership of your home with a reverse mortgage.
Truth: With a reverse mortgage, you retain ownership of your home. The lender does not take ownership unless you fail to meet the loan obligations.
Myth #2: You can owe more than your home is worth with a reverse mortgage.
Truth: Reverse mortgages are non-recourse loans, which means you or your heirs will never owe more than the home is worth at the time of repayment, even if the loan balance exceeds the home value.
Myth #3: You won't qualify for a reverse mortgage if you have an existing mortgage.
Truth: It's possible to pay off your existing mortgage with a reverse mortgage, and you may still be eligible even if you have an outstanding mortgage balance.
Myth #4: You won't be able to leave your home to your heirs with a reverse mortgage.
Truth: Your heirs have the option to keep the home by paying off the reverse mortgage balance or 95% of the appraised value, whichever is less. They can also sell the home and keep the remaining equity after the loan is repaid.
Now that we've debunked these common myths, let's talk about how a reverse mortgage can help you achieve your financial goals.
