A reverse mortgage is a loan — not a sale of the home. Understanding the mechanics is important before deciding whether it is the right path for the specific Riverside County situation.
No monthly mortgage payment required
A reverse mortgage allows Riverside County homeowners age 62 and older to access home equity without monthly mortgage payments. The homeowner must still pay property taxes, homeowners insurance, and maintain the home. The loan is repaid when the homeowner sells the home, moves out, or passes away.
The loan balance grows over time
Because no monthly payments are made, the interest on a reverse mortgage accrues and is added to the loan balance over time. This means the equity available for heirs decreases over time. Kiyoshi reviews the specific long-term projections for the specific Riverside County situation before making any recommendation.
The homeowner retains title
The homeowner retains title to the Riverside County home throughout the life of the reverse mortgage. The lender does not own the home. The homeowner can sell the home at any time and repay the reverse mortgage from the proceeds.
FHA insurance protects the homeowner
HECM reverse mortgages are insured by the FHA. This means the homeowner (and heirs) will never owe more than the home is worth at the time of repayment, even if the loan balance exceeds the home value. Kiyoshi reviews the specific FHA insurance implications for the specific Riverside County situation.
