Understanding Reverse Mortgages
There are many options for homeowners who may need to tap into their equity in order to stay in their home. I learned about reverse mortgages when my dad passed away and my mom’s income dropped in half. A reverse mortgage was a lifeline for her and allowed her to remain in her home.
I interviewed Gabe Bodner of One Trust Home Loans to explain reverse mortgages and what they are what they are not; who qualifies for a reverse mortgage; how they differ from conventional, VA or FHA mortgages; terms of a reverse mortgage; and if a reverse mortgage is the right option.
