Sinopse

A reverse mortgage allows homeowners aged 62 or older to access a portion of the equity they have built up in their homes over the years. The amount that can be borrowed depends on factors such as the homeowner's age, the appraised value of the home, and current interest rates. 
  
One of the key features of a reverse mortgage is that it does not require monthly payments like a traditional mortgage does. Instead, the loan balance increases over time as interest accrues on the borrowed amount. The homeowner retains ownership of the home and can continue to live in it as long as they comply with the loan terms, which typically include maintaining the property and paying property taxes and homeowners insurance. 
  
Repayment of the loan is usually deferred until the homeowner moves out of the home permanently, sells the home, or passes away. At that point, the loan must be repaid, usually through the sale of the home. Any remaining equity after the loan is repaid belongs to the homeowner or their heirs. 
  
Reverse mortgages can be a valuable financial tool for seniors who need additional income during retirement or want to access their home equity without selling their home. However, they also come with certain risks and considerations, such as potential fees, interest rates, and the impact on inheritances. It's essential for homeowners to carefully consider their options and consult with a financial advisor before deciding if a reverse mortgage is right for them.
