If you are age 62 or older and own a home, you may qualify for a reverse mortgage on your primary residence.
A reverse mortgage turns the equity of your home into available cash. It works the opposite of a typical mortgage — the lender, in this case TFCU, will make payment(s) to you, rather than you making payments to us. You maintain ownership of your home, and no principal or interest payments are required for as long as you live in your home.
Repayment is made when you cease to occupy your home, whether you sell it, permanently move out or pass away. If the amount remaining on the mortgage at that time is less than your home's value, the difference is given to your estate. You will never owe more than the amount your home is worth and the lender cannot seek repayment from income, other assets or your heirs.
You have the option of receiving payments:
- In a single lump sum
- As a fixed monthly amount
- As a line of credit
- Or, any combination of the above
The amount you receive is different for everyone as it depends on your age, the value of your home and the current interest rate.
TFCU only collects a 1% origination fee. This means you can realize more equity out of your home and it costs you less to get it!
Counseling is required by a Hud Approved Counselor ($125 fee paid to Counseling Agency).
