Crush Credit Card Debt with a Reverse Mortgage

We wanted to share something exciting that could really help you out if you’re dealing with the burden of credit card debt and 24% interest rates on that debt. Have you ever considered a reverse mortgage? It might be the perfect tool to achieve your financial freedom and greater peace of mind!
We’ve prepared a little story to help illustrate how this can work.

What’s a Reverse Mortgage?

In simple terms, a reverse mortgage lets you turn part of your home’s equity into cash without having to sell your house or make monthly mortgage payments. It’s available for people 62 and older–or even 55+ for some reverse mortgage products– perfect for those who want to enjoy retirement without financial stress.

How Can a Reverse Mortgage Help You Get Out of Credit Card Debt?

  1. Instant Cash: You can get a lump sum, monthly payments, or a line of credit. Use this money to pay off those high-interest credit card balances and wave goodbye to that debt!
  1. No More Monthly Payments: You won’t have to worry about mortgage payments anymore, which means more of your income can go towards other things you love or need – like tackling any remaining debt.
  2. Lower Interest Rate: If you’re paying 24% on credit card debt you will never get ahead! A reverse mortgage is much lower than this—it’s actually in the 7-10% range–helping you get your debt under control.
  3. Stress-Free Living: Imagine the relief of not having multiple credit card bills hanging over your head. With a reverse mortgage, you can focus on enjoying life and doing the things you love.
  4. Tax-Free Money: The cash you get from a reverse mortgage is usually tax-free, so you get the full benefit of your home’s equity.

Is It Right for You?

A reverse mortgage isn’t for everyone, but it could be a game-changer if it fits your situation. With newer regulations, reverse mortgages are even safer and more beneficial for homeowners. It’s a good idea to chat with your financial advisor to see if it makes sense for you.

Equal Housing Opportunity

If you qualify and your loan is approved, a HECM loan must pay off your existing mortgage(s). With a HECM, no monthly mortgage payment is required. Borrowers are responsible for paying property taxes and homeowner’s insurance (which may be substantial). We do not establish an escrow account for disbursements of these payments. Borrowers must also occupy home as primary residence and pay for ongoing maintenance; otherwise the loan becomes due and payable. The loan must be paid off when the last borrower, or eligible nonborrowing surviving spouse, dies, sells the home, permanently moves out, or does not comply with the loan terms. A HECM increases the principal mortgage loan amount and decreases home equity (it is a negative amortization loan).
