Understanding Reverse Mortgages: A Simple Guide

Reverse mortgages often sound intimidating due to their complicated terms and past misconceptions. But they’re simpler than they seem!

Think of it this way: A reverse mortgage lets you access the money (equity) tied up in your home while you continue living there. Instead of selling your house to get cash, you borrow against its value and receive payments, like turning your home into your personal bank.

You can use the money however you like—whether it’s funding a dream vacation, making your home more comfortable, or even going back to school. It’s your money to enjoy while staying in your home.

If you’ve spent decades paying off your home, the idea of a reverse mortgage might feel unfamiliar. Here’s a straightforward breakdown:

  1. What It’s For:
  • You own your home (or owe very little on it).
  • You want extra money to enjoy life, but don’t want to sell your home to get it.
  1. How It Works:
  • A reverse mortgage lender calculates how much they can lend you based on your home’s value, your age, and interest rates.
  • Instead of making payments to a lender, you receive payments from them.
  1. Key Details:
  • You still own and live in your home.
  • You only repay the loan (plus interest) when you no longer live in the home full time (like if you move or pass away).
  • You’ll never owe more than the value of your home, no matter how much you borrow.
  1. Bonus:
  • If your home sells for more than what you owe, the leftover money is yours to keep!

Reverse mortgages are often called deferred payment loans because repayment is postponed until later. This makes them a helpful option for seniors who want to boost their income without selling their home.

"Derek did an excellent job in getting us i to our dream home. He was quick and diligent in his work, but took the time to explain all the ins and outs to us. He was polite and excellent in communication. Derek offered us many options to choose from and in the end did not just help us get our mortgage loan, gave us financial advice to better secure our future. Would recommend 100%"

"We had several challenges and hurdles during our home buying experience and had all but given up on even owning a home. Then we were referred to Derek and is knowledge, confidence, patience and above all positivity turned it all around. From the second we started working with him, the process was flawless. I will recommend him to everyone I know and will absolutely be working with him again myself."

"Derek did a refi on my current home and new lone on the vacation home I got. He was able to get it all done on time and did a great job. I recommend, great loan adviser for Running Springs, Lake Arrowhead, Big Bear especially, he knows the area really well."

"Being a first time buyer, the whole process of buying a home can be a little overwhelming. Derek and his team had walked me through the entire process and time over time had clearly explained any questions or concerns I had. Overall, the experience was great, and I would recommend Derek and his team to anyone. Where Derek really shined was his ability to quickly work with my needs to get prequalified. Without that sense of urgency, my bid may not have had the time to be selected by the sellers. It was with that, I respected Derek, and from there on it was a simple process of document gathering and open communication on their needs as well as mine. Derek clearly explained my loan options, terms, and I truly felt he was looking out for my best interest; pun intended. Thanks again for your assistance."
