For many seniors one of their greatest sources of security is their home. It not only provides a comfortable and familiar environment, but it provides a sense of independence and a source of many fond memories. The equity in that home represents a financial nest egg and a legacy for them to pass on to their family.

With the ever increasing cost of maintaining a home, along with the overall rise in the cost of healthcare, finding the resources to live out ones life at home is becoming a growing challenge. For an increasing number of seniors, a reverse mortgage has provided great peace of mind. They are provided the tax free cash to meet these financial demands without giving up title to their home. They have no monthly payment or deadline as to when they must move or pay off the loan, and when they or their family choose to sell the home there will usually be substantial equity that remains theirs to do with as they choose.

By regulating loan amounts, interest rates, terms and fees, the Federal Government insures the uniformity, safety, and security of a reverse mortgage. With more and more seniors discovering that these and other safeguards are in place, and as seniors, their families, and their financial advisors become more educated about how a reverse mortgage actually works there has been a dramatic rise in number of seniors opting to take advantage of this program.
