California Reverse Mortgages
Senior citizens in California and all over the country are seeking out reverse mortgages in large numbers. Reverse mortgages put money in the pockets of older homeowners without, in most cases, affecting their Social Security payments or Medicare eligibility. In addition, money from reverse mortgages isn't taxable. Reverse mortgages turn on three factors: the value of the home; the equity in the home; and the age of the owner. Local California agencies, the government through the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and private mortgage companies all offer reverse mortgages. Be aware that mortgage companies are allowed to charge fees for originating and managing reverse mortgages. The owner remains responsible for applicable taxes and all forms of property insurance.

If you're a California senior, should you consider a reverse mortgage? A homeowner with lots of equity but not a lot of monthly cash could well benefit from a reverse mortgage. Reverse mortgages remain in effect until the owner dies, sells the home or no longer lives in it. Drawbacks to reverse mortgages do exist. They eat up a home's equity and it is eaten up faster the longer the mortgage goes on. A reverse mortgage can make it possible for a person to stay in the home longer than may otherwise be possible. Still, if in later life the person must move into a care facility there may be little or no equity left in the house.
