How do reverse mortgages stack up against other financial options?

While traditional refinancing and home equity loans require steady income and monthly payments, a reverse mortgage offers a flexible alternative for homeowners 62 and older. It provides access to home equity that can supplement retirement income, cover unexpected expenses, or eliminate existing mortgage payments — all while you continue living in your home.

How Do Reverse Mortgages Compare to Other Financial Solutions?

A reverse mortgage allows homeowners aged 62 and older to access the equity in their homes without selling or making monthly mortgage payments. It’s a flexible, federally insured option that can help enhance financial security and independence in retirement.

Here’s how a reverse mortgage compares to other options:
