A reverse mortgage allows homeowners to use their built-up equity without selling their home or making monthly mortgage payments. Instead of paying the lender, the lender pays you either as a lump sum, a monthly payment, or a line of credit.
The loan doesn’t need to be repaid until you sell the home, move out (for example, into a retirement community), or pass away. At that point, the home is typically sold and the lender is repaid from the proceeds covering the loan amount, interest, and other finance charges. If there’s any remaining equity, it goes to you or your estate.
You still own your home, keep the title, and are responsible for property taxes, insurance, and maintenance. Thanks to FHA rules, you’ll never owe more than the home is worth, even if the loan balance exceeds market value.
To qualify for a reverse mortgage in Denver:
Reverse mortgages are especially helpful for retired homeowners or those on a fixed income who want to stretch their resources. Colorado offers added borrower protections, like a 3-day cancellation window and no prepayment penalties.
The FHA insures the standard option.
