Reverse Mortgages
Turn Your Home Equity Into Financial Freedom
Live better in retirement with a reverse mortgage—access tax-free funds, keep full ownership of your home, and enjoy freedom from monthly mortgage payments, with flexible ways to receive your money.
How Reverse Mortgages Work
Learn About Home Refinancing
A reverse mortgage turns home equity into usable cash, all while you remain the owner. You can pay off your existing mortgage, eliminate monthly payments, and access the rest of your equity for whatever matters most to you. Repayment isn't required until you move or pass away, giving you peace of mind and improved cash flow during retirement.
Flexible Fund Options
Choose How to Receive Your Money
Every homeowner's needs are different, which is why reverse mortgages offer flexible disbursement options. Take a lump sum for large expenses, set up monthly payments to supplement income, draw from a line of credit as needed, or combine methods for maximum flexibility. Your equity adapts to your lifestyle, not the other way around.
Crunch Some Numbers
Many seniors use reverse mortgage proceeds to fund the retirement they've envisioned. Common uses include covering healthcare costs, paying off debts, setting aside emergency reserves, or helping grandchildren with college or a first home. Others simply choose to invest in travel or home improvements that make aging in place more comfortable. Because funds are tax-free, every dollar goes further.
