Austin Reverse Mortgages

Retirement should be the most exciting and relaxing time in your life, and living in Austin makes that only too easy. However, even the most prepared adults may not have the funds they expected to pay debts, maintain quality of life and do the fun things they want to. Many older homeowners make up for this difference by getting a reverse mortgage.

At Senior Lending Corporation, reverse mortgages are our specialty. You may be eligible even if you’re unfamiliar with this inverted mortgage that puts more money in homeowners’ pockets. Learn more about how you can benefit from this tool and get started with an application today.

What Is a Reverse Mortgage?

A reverse mortgage is a unique financial product that allows adults ages 62 and up to tap into their home’s equity without selling their property. Although the loan amount depends on the borrower’s age, home value and current interest rates, a reverse mortgage can provide the flexibility needed to make the most of your retirement and:

  • Fund home repairs and renovations: Apply the money from the reverse mortgage to fund big-ticket items like home repairs or renovations while continuing to live in your home comfortably.
  • Eliminate high-interest debt: Instead of slowly making payments toward credit cards, car loans, mortgages or other debts, use your reverse mortgage to pay your obligations and return to living your best life.
  • Cover medical expenses: Reverse mortgages provide supplemental income, which means more financial security for those who face medical expenses, including bills, long-term care costs and more.

What Are the Benefits of a Reverse Mortgage in Austin?

A HECM reverse mortgage provides many benefits for older homeowners:

  • Better expense management: Retirement can result in a significant income reduction for many seniors. A reverse mortgage can provide additional funds to cover bills and other household expenses without digging into your savings.
  • Stay in your home: If you don’t want to move, a reverse mortgage can provide the money you need so that you can remain in your home.
  • No taxes: You won’t have to pay federal taxes on your reverse mortgage because the IRS classifies the funds as loan proceeds instead of income.
  • No restrictions: Use the loan proceeds for anything you desire. Take a vacation, pay off credit card debt, help your grandchildren pay for college or build an addition to your home.
