Welcome to Mortgage Done Right! Discover the power of Reverse Mortgage Loans.
A significant number of homeowners have discovered the remarkable benefit of reverse mortgage loans, an innovative way to capitalize on the equity they’ve accumulated in their homes.
Reverse mortgage loans are a unique departure from conventional mortgages. Instead of making regular payments towards your mortgage, a reverse mortgage loan turns the tables, with your lender paying you instead. This could be through monthly disbursements, a one-time bulk payment, a credit line, or a blend of a credit line and monthly payments. The amount you get depends on factors like your age, your home’s value, and the prevailing interest rate.
One of the standout features of a reverse mortgage loan is its flexibility – there’s no requirement to repay the loan unless your home is no longer your main residence, or you don’t uphold the home’s maintenance, fail to pay property taxes or homeowner’s insurance or breach the loan’s terms in any other way.
If you’re 62 years or above and own your home, you could be a perfect candidate for a reverse mortgage loan. Get in touch with us for more details about reverse mortgage loans and strategies to leverage them to your advantage, or apply right away to kickstart the process of unlocking the equity in your home.

3 Reverse Mortgage Loan Questions to Consider
What is a Reverse Mortgage Loan?
A reverse mortgage loan is a loan designed to allow seniors to draw upon the equity in their homes. Seniors can select to receive the loan proceeds either by a lump sum payment, by monthly installments, as a line of credit or as a combination of a line of credit and monthly installments thus providing cash flow even after retirement. The reason this type of loan is called a “reverse mortgage loan” is because the loan proceeds are paid to the home owner.
Eventually the money paid to the homeowner is repaid with interest, however the loan generally does not become due until the borrower passes away, sells the home, no longer maintains the home as the primary residence or fails to pay property taxes, fails to pay homeowners insurance or otherwise fails to comply with the loan terms.
