A reverse mortgage is a really great thing if you have lots of equity in your home, and you don’t have very much liquidated cash to enjoy your retirement. My mother had a house paid in full in Santa Barbara, CA but was living off of social security checks. I helped her get a reverse mortgage loan from Financial Freedom. Then she was living life to the fullest until she passed away 6 years later. My siblings were livid when they found out she got that loan, because they thought she would eat up their inheritance. But she sure loved life those last years of her life, going to the off-track horse racing, bought a new car, new hi-def tv, remodeled her kitchen with Viking appliances. So, yes it can be a very good thing. But you must remember that it is basically selling your house slowly back to a financial institution. If my mom would have lived long enough, my brother and sister (and me) would not have inherited a dime, but that was ok with me.
Anyways, you can find some info and resources about reverse mortgages here:
