How a Flagstaff Reverse Mortgage Work?
A reverse mortgage is still a home loan, but instead of you paying the mortgage company, they pay you! Whether you choose a line of credit, monthly payments or a lump sum, you retain title and the ownership of your home.
As long as you live in your home and keep your taxes and insurance paid, you can never be forced out. The federal government also guarantees your reverse mortgage, which means that you don't ever have to make a payment, you can never owe more than your house is worth and your heirs can make the decision on whether to sell or move into the house.
