EricĀ and Christine are both retired, own their home free and clear and have excellent assets and savings. Even still, there was no lending source that they could find who would secure them a line of credit for a remodel. After hearing about a reverse mortgage they gave a Reverse Mortgage Specialist a call. All of their questions pertaining to this unique product were answered and they were able to secure the funds needed to remodel by tapping into the equity of their home.
A line of credit from a reverse mortgage does not require them to make any payment, and in addition, there was even money left over. Eric and Christine saw the extra funds as a lovely resource that they can draw upon for their entire lives. Reverse Mortgages are used for many different scenarios including a home remodel. If you long to update your home a reverse mortgage is definitely a tool that you should consider.
