Is A Reverse Home Mortgage Right For You?
By: Terry Edwards
First of all you may ask what is a reverse home mortgage and how can I determine if it’s right for me. That is the purpose of this article. As you continue to read, you will get a much better understanding of what a turnaround loan on your home is about and how it may or may not be right for you.Many of you have spent more than half of your adult life paying off a home lien. After all it is the "Great American Dream" to own one’s own home, free and clear. As the years have passed, and the value of your residence has increased, it may have become your main savings account and only asset. In other words you have been building equity (cash value) in your residence. However, because of life's circumstances, (excessive debt, illness, loss of income or even death of a spouse) you are in need of tapping into this reserve of cash. In the United States only those of you, which are 62 years of age or older, may qualify for this type of loan on their home. The reverse home mortgage loan simply enables the owner to tap into the home equity (cash value) of their personal home and not have to worry about having to sell the home or take a 2nd mortgage, which would increase monthly debt. The money realized from this type of mortgage can be taken in one total payment, monthly payouts or a combination of the two. "What are some of the advantages of this type of loan on your home?" you may ask. Perhaps the greatest advantage, as a senior citizen is the fact this is considered, by the Internal Revenue Service, as non-taxable income. Another great advantage is it won’t count against the income you can earn beyond the Social Security cap on earned income. You may also use the money to maintain your life style or perhaps even raise your choice of life style. Even though it sounds like a great idea, to be able to get your hands on this money, it may not be the right choice for you. There are many other factors, beside those mentioned above, which should be considered before you determine if a turnaround loan is the right thing for you. It is strongly recommended that you, as the homeowner, should consult a professional financial advisor prior to obtaining a reverse home mortgage.
