Advantages of Reverse Mortgages:
There are no restrictions on what the loan proceeds may be spent on. Borrowers may pay outstanding bills like credit cards, personal loans, car loans, etc. They can even use the funds to purchase another home, buy a car, home improvements and even give financial assistance to a needed family member. Depending on the needs of the borrower you may elect to receive a lump sum of cash at closing or receive a select amount to be paid directly to you on a monthly basis for a selected term. Also, you may elect to receive a line of credit to use at your convenience. Further, you may elect to take advantage of all three previous options.
The majority of reverse mortgage borrowers choose to have no set term of the loan. Reverse mortgages. Borrowers can chose a set term of years, i.e., 10 years, 15 years, 25 years, etc. which increases the monthly proceeds. Each borrower's needs are different and thorough care should always be considered when choosing a term for your reverse mortgage payments paid to you. Some borrower's choose a term for a set term to receive money each month to pay their bills. Some use a reverse mortgage to prolong taking social security early, allowing the reverse to pay them monthly payments so they won't be forced to take social security early at a less favorable payout than waiting until full retirement age. Please note if your reverse mortgage term ends, no repayment of the loan is required and you continue living in your home.
Reverse mortgages have fixed and adjustable rate options which should be discussed with your loan officer for what option best serves your financial needs for today and the future of the loan.

The great advantage obviously is no monthly payment requirement unlike the home equity credit line which may be reduced or terminated at the discretion of the lender.
