Stress Less About Health-related Retirement Costs with a Reverse Mortgage Loan

Older Americans are paying massive out-of-pocket health costs, despite Medicare coverage. In fact, uncovered expenses will consume 52% of the average Social Security check by 2030. But figuring out how to afford medical care as a retiree doesn’t have to be stressful. If you’re a homeowner age 55 or older (in select states)*, there’s an option designed exclusively for you — a reverse mortgage loan.

Paying Health-related Retirement Expenses, While Maintaining Financial Health, Too

Budgeting is a critical part of maintaining your retirement lifestyle — without running out of funds. But unlike budgeting during your working years, you may be faced with new or greater medical costs as you grow older. Health-related expenses are likely to consume a larger portion of your retirement budget — and you need to plan for that.

A More Flexible Home Equity Loan

If you’re 62 or older, there is a home equity line of credit option that offers greater financial flexibility than a traditional Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC). It’s called a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) line of credit. 
If you have an existing mortgage or home equity loan you could refinance them with a HECM line of credit and get enhanced benefits, including a flexible payment feature and a line of credit that GROWS when left untouched.
As with any mortgage, you must meet your loan obligations, keeping current with property taxes, insurance, and keeping your home in good condition.
