Reverse Mortgages
Do you need cash? Do you have a lot of equity in your home? Approved Cash can help you get a reverse mortgage.
What is a Reverse Mortgage?
A reverse mortgage is exactly what it sounds like — a mortgage paid to you, the homeowner. Essentially, you put your home up as collateral. In exchange, the lender hands you an amount of money equal to the value of your home.
When you move or pass, the proceeds of your home sale are used to pay back the lender. If your home appreciates in value and exceeds the loan balance and any additional costs, the proceeds go to you — or to your estate if you pass away.
You can get a reverse mortgage one of six ways.
-
Lump sum: You receive all of your proceeds at once. Lump sum reverse mortgages interest rates are fixed (interest rate doesn’t change throughout the term of the loan). All others are variable (the interest rate changes with overall interest rates).
-
Tenure plan: You receive fixed, steady payments for as long as you live. This is essentially an annuity.
-
Term payments: The lender pays you fixed monthly payments for a defined length of time, such as 10 years.
-
Credit line: You can borr
-
Tenure plan + credit line: You get both the annuity and a credit line.
-
Term payments + credit line: You get both steady monthly payments and a credit line.
