One of the most common misconceptions is that homeowners give up ownership of their home when they get a reverse mortgage.
That's simply not true.
While there are requirements that you pay the taxes and maintain homeowners insurance, you continue to be the owner of your property.
A reverse mortgage is simply another type of home loan. Like any financial decision, it's important to understand both the benefits and the responsibilities before deciding whether it's right for you.
The more you know, the easier it becomes to separate facts from myths.
