Your Starting Point to Reverse Mortgages
COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS
MYTH: Taxes have to be paid on money received from a reverse mortgage.
Nope! Proceeds from a reverse mortgage are not considered income, and are therefore not income taxable. The money from a reverse mortgage comes from your home’s equity, which already belongs to you, so it’s not considered income. Plus, the interest on a reverse mortgage can be tax-deductible when it’s repaid.*
MYTH: Your heirs can’t inherit the home with a reverse mortgage.
Nope! You will still be able to pass the home on to your kids. Just like any other mortgage, they can inherit the house. When the loan becomes due, they can decide how to repay the loan balance.
MYTH: Reverse mortgages should only be used as a last resort.
That’s incorrect! A reverse mortgage is a powerful financial tool that can be an important part of your overall financial plan. From paying off an existing mortgage to delaying Social Security benefits*, or even establishing an emergency line of credit, it’s a flexible product that gives you options.
MYTH: A reverse mortgage interferes with Social Security and Medicare benefits.
False! Government entitled programs such as Social Security and Medicare are generally not affected by a reverse mortgage – however, need-based programs such as Medicaid may be. Consult a qualified financial advisor or the appropriate government agency to learn more.
MYTH: Reverse mortgages are expensive.
Here’s the truth – reverse mortgage loan origination costs and interest rates are comparable to those of traditional mortgages. They do not require large out-of-pocket expenses. There are FHA insurance costs that some traditional mortgages don’t require, but the cost is relatively small.
MYTH: With a reverse mortgage, the bank takes your home.
That’s false! With a reverse mortgage, the homeowner keeps the title to the home in their name, provided they meet their loan obligations, keeping current with property taxes, insurance, and maintenance. The lender simply adds a lien onto the title to guarantee that the money will eventually be paid back when the loan becomes due.

How it Works
For many Americans, their home is their biggest asset, and the one they have invested the most in throughout their lives. And a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM), or "reverse mortgage," can allow senior homeowners to tap into some of this hard-earned home equity – for another source of cash to help fund retirement, counteract the effects of inflation, and live more comfortably.

Charges such as an origination fee, mortgage insurance premiums, closing costs and/or servicing fees, if applicable, may be assessed and will be added to the loan balance. As long as you comply with the terms of the loan, you retain title until you sell or transfer the property, and, therefore, you are responsible for paying property taxes, insurance and maintenance. Failing to pay these amounts may cause the loan to become immediately due and/or subject the property to a tax lien, other encumbrance or foreclosure. The loan balance grows over time, and interest is added to that balance. Interest on a reverse mortgage is not deductible from your income tax until you repay all or part of the interest on the loan. Although the loan is non-recourse, at the maturity of the loan, the lender will have a claim against your property and you or your heirs may need to sell the property in order to repay the loan, or use other assets to repay the loan in order to retain the property.
