If you’re aged 60 or over, a reverse mortgage can help you free up some of the equity in your current home and use it towards your new goals. In essence, you are borrowing money using the equity in your home as security, while you still own your home. Reverse mortgages can be taken as a lump sum (for a renovation or holiday), a regular income stream (to boost your budget), a line of credit, or a combination.
