Document Summary

The ground rules for retirement planning are changing rapidly. Even a 3 percent rate of inflation will cause prices to double every 24 years. A reverse mortgage is designed exclusively for homeowners age 60 and older. It provides the homeowner with a taxfree income in the form of a loan that is paid back (with interest) when the home is sold or the homeowner dies. You can receive up to 40 percent of the appraised value of your home. Reverse annuity mortgages (ram) are used to buy a life annuity from an insurance company that pays out a given sum of money on a regular basis for as long as the homeowner lives. When the homeowner dies or the house is sold, the mortgage and accrued interest must be repaid. The amount you can borrow increases as you grow older, usually in the range of 15 to. 45 percent of the equity in your home.
