Are you a retired individual looking for ways to increase your financial security? If so, you may have heard of a home equity conversion mortgage, more commonly known as a reverse mortgage. Used correctly, this is one of the most effective financial products for retirees who own their home.

Let’s explore three ways that a reverse mortgage can help to transform a dull retirement into one filled with excitement.

It’s All About Flexibility

The primary benefit that one receives with a reverse mortgage is financial flexibility. It is an excellent way to tap into the equity that has built up in your home over time without having to sell the house and move out. Moreover, unlike a traditional home loan, the payment terms are far more flexible. In many cases, payments are not required until you are ready to leave the home permanently.

An Extra Source Of Income

Is your lifestyle starting to suffer because you do not have a regular salary coming in for you and your partner? Regardless of how much you have saved in 401-k and other retirement accounts, losing that regular monthly income can be depressing.

The good news: a reverse mortgage can help to change that. The funds you receive can be used however you want. You can invest in renovations for your home, take a nice vacation, invest in the stock market or simply leave it in your bank account. It is a helpful ‘bridge’ income source that will ensure that you have no trouble taking care of life’s many expenses.

A Contingency Fund, Just ‘In Case’

Finally, a reverse mortgage or home equity conversion mortgage can be an excellent contingency fund. If you take this out as a line of credit, the money will be available if and when they are needed. Many retired individuals lack a financial ‘safety net’ and end up suffering due to unexpected health or other costs. With a reverse mortgage, you can sleep soundly knowing that emergency cash is there if needed.

    We had made a move out west from North Carolina for business reasons, and we did not have time to finish some upgrades such as new carpet, fixing a small area of mold in one of the bathrooms, and some painting.  We had selected an investor in NC who advertised quick closings, all cash for as-is homes.  They backed out of the deal at the last minute, and we had a home under construction in Utah.


    We called We Buy Homes for Cash, and they were wonderful.  Blake, Mason and Bryan made the whole process smooth and stress free.  We were able to close in about two weeks.

    We are about to close on our new home in Utah.  This would not have been possible without their professional and personable service.  I highly recommend We Buy Homes for Cash.

    I had been wanting to sell my house for several months but every realtor I talked to needed me to clean up my house and I have 30 years worth of stuff here.  I was not able to get rid of my stuff or pack it all away.  My home also needed some repairs like the roof and some plumbing stuff.  I called We Buy Homes Cash and the experience was amazing.  They gave me $2,000 up front so I could buy the moving supplies I needed to pack.  Then they let me stay in the house for 2 weeks after they closed.  This was so helpful.  Thank you so much Tyson and all the others that helped me make my move to Ohio possible.

    If you're looking to sell your home, I can't think of a more reputable and fair team to work with.  Tyson and his team went above and beyond to make sure they understood the process of working with a cash buyer went.  The process was very smooth and painless and I am sincerely thankful for their services.
