Reverse Mortgages
Homeowners looking to add more income to their budget often consider reverse mortgages.
With a reverse mortgage, your home equity is converted into cash by your lender. Essentially, you are selling the equity you have built up over the years to your lender. In turn, they are offering you money for the equity or buying the home from you. This is the opposite of a tradition mortgage where you pay the bank for the property. A reverse mortgage payment can be done as a lump sum, regular payments or a mix of the two.
