Reverse Mortgage or Home Equity Loan
A Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) is specifically designed for seniors looking to take a cash loan against the equity of their home. The loan does not need to be paid back until the borrower(s) have either moved away or passed away.
A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is also based on the equity of your home, but functions more or less like a credit card with specific withdrawal and payment periods, as well as highly competitive interest rates.
Selecting The Right Options
It is important you consult family members or professional financial and life advisors when deciding the best avenue for your family. Each has their own pros and cons that are based heavily on your location, care needs, financial situation, and more.
