Also condominiums, or townhouse. A Reverse Mortgage is basically a loan that does not need to be paid back. You can live in the home, and after your death, or spouse, the government will take back the house and sell the home, or other real property. The HUD agency will provide a lender for you at no cost.

They would receive their payments in equal monthly payments, as long as one borrower lives, Or Term, equal monthly payments for a fixed period of months. Some want a Line of Credit to use as installments, whenever they choose.
