The reason this type of mortgage is called a “reverse mortgage” is because the money goes directly to the home owner instead of into paying for the home.
Eventually the money paid to the homeowner is repaid with interest, however it generally doesn’t become due until the homeowner leaves the home due to death, move, etc.
Getting a reverse mortgage is a big step and needs to be carefully evaluated. Many people have found that by taking a reverse mortgage they avail themselves of the equity they have built in their home.
Something about it allows them to live without moving out of their home. Do they use the words “Draw down” when referring to equity.
Typically those who benefit most from a reverse mortgage are those who plan to stay in their homes over an extended period and have built a decent amount of equity in their homes. Also, the risk associated with a reverse mortgage is significantly lower than more traditional types of mortgages because you can never owe more than the value of your home.
