A California reverse mortgage is a loan where the lender will either pay you a lump sum in one go, will make regular monthly payments, will extend a line of credit, or a combination of the three. Now this is the great thing about a California reverse mortgage, you continue to own your home and of course you must continue paying property taxes, operating expenses and maintenance. Now on the California reverse mortgage part, since you don't make any pay outs on the loan, the balance owned will rise each month with the interest applied to it. Now when you stop living permanently in the home, the loan will have to be paid back and this will come down to your heirs if you pass away. And this in turn is usually done by selling or refinancing the house. There are a number of pros and cons to the option of paying your California reverse mortgage through a line of credit, and what follows is the gist of it.
If you want your California reverse mortgage to be paid through a line of credit it means that you can access funds at your discretion. This option is a very good one because of its flexibility. It is important that you can access your funds anytime and whenever you need them. Another good part about this payment option is because of its growth feature.
