If you own your home, are 62 years old and have a lot of equity in your home you can easily qualify for a reverse mortgage. Retirement can be tough financially, you can find yourself trying to live on a lot less money than when you were working. If this is your situation then talk to your bank about converting the equity in your home into cash.
You will no longer have to make payments to the bank or mortgage company, they will make payments to you. If that is the way you have set it up. You have the choice of taking the money in one lump sum, as a line of credit, or receiving monthly payments. Make your retirement everything you thought it could be and talk to your lender about a reverse mortgage. You can also choose to receive monthly payments and have an amount set aside as a line of credit to use for the upkeep of the home.
