Detailed explanations of the three types of Wisconsin Reverse Mortgages are available HERE.

REMEMBER:

With a Reverse Mortgage:

  • NO monthly payments

  • You retain title to the home

  • NO credit check is necessary

  • NO out-of-pocket costs

  • Use the proceeds as you wish

 

 


 

Step 2 - Receiving the Monies:

Reverse Mortgages differ in the manner in which you receive the proceeds of the loan.
You can choose to receive the monies in four ways.
 

1. Lump Sum Amount
You receive a one-time check that you can use as you wish. Take that big trip you've always dreamed of, pay your taxes, put a grandchild through college - it can all be possible with the right reverse mortgage.

2. Credit Line
You have access to a pre-determined amount of money, that you can use WHEN and HOW you wish, simply by writing a check. The credit line option can provide peace of mind, knowing that you can remain independent and in your own home through life's unexpected situations.

3. Monthly Cash Advance
You will receive a check in the mail each month, for a specified amount of money. Much in the way that you paid the bank each month, now the bank pays you.

You can use the proceeds for basic living expenses, in-home medical care and prescriptions, travel, gifts, or even for a life insurance policy to provide for loved ones when you're gone.

4. Combination
Perhaps you'd like to have the freedom that comes with a combination of the lump sum amount, the credit line, and the month cash advance.

Pay off debts with the lump sum amount, keep the credit line for unexpected expenses, and receive the monthly cash advance to help with basic living expenses.
 

You can have it your way!

You spent years
working for your home,

Now it's time to make
your home work for YOU!

 

Did You Know?
If in the future you find that you need more money, you can refinance the terms of your reverse mortgage if the equity in your home has grown.
