Understanding Reverse Mortgage Financing

In a reverse mortgage, a homeowner 62 years of age and older receives money from the lender and generally does not have to pay it back for as long as they live in the home. Instead, the loan is repaid when the homeowner dies, sells the home, or no longer lives there as the principal residence. Reverse mortgages can help homeowners who are house-rich but cash-poor.
