Reverse Mortgages

Three things you should know:

  2. They can be wrong for you.
  3. You can trust us to know the difference

Home is where the heart is. It can also be the key to reaching your retirement goals. If you love the house you’re in and want to stay there through retirement, consider a reverse mortgage from Meredith Village Savings Bank. We know it can be a big decision- and we’ll listen (in person) to all the questions you may have. Here’s a start:

What is a Reverse Mortgage?
A reverse mortgage is a flexible loan that allows you to tap into the equity in your home to cover the expenses you have today. Unlike a traditional mortgage, a reverse mortgage pays you!

What are the advantages?

  • You retain the title to your property and stay in the home you love. You worked hard to make your house a home. A reverse mortgage enables you to stay in your home while drawing on its equity.
  • Use the money for anything. There are no restrictions on how you use the money from a reverse mortgage. Improve your cash flow, pay for healthcare expenses, cover property taxes, make home improvements, or finance your retirement goals.
  • You choose how you receive your money. Get it in a lump sum, as monthly installments, or as a line of credit
  • No monthly payments required. As long as you continue to live in your house, you’ll have no monthly payments; you simply pay off the loan when you are no longer living in the home or when you sell it.
  • The proceeds are tax-free!*
