Other options are available as well, so if you’re not sure which is best, contact us today.
Borrowers choose reverse mortgages for a number of reasons, including:
The disbursement options on a reverse mortgage loan are flexible. You can access money in a lump sum, establishing a line of credit to use as needed, or a combination of the two.
