Reverse Mortgage Alternatives
Alternatives to Reverse Mortgages
The reverse mortgage should not be considered a "first choice" for older adults looking for extra cash. There are alternatives. It does have its advantages, but in some cases, the reverse mortgage fees outway the benefits. Below are some reverse mortgage alternatives to consider before gettting this type of loan.
Reverse Mortgage Alternatives
- Downsizing - Selling the home and moving into smaller quarters
- The Home Equity Loan or Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)
- Refinancing the home completely
- Having the children buy the home, and lease back to you
- Securing money for home repairs from other sources
