A reverse mortgage is a loan that’s taken out based on your home’s equity. It’s different from a home equity loan because there are no credit checks or income requirements. Additionally, you don’t have to make payments on a reverse mortgage the way you make payments on a home equity loan. You might think of a reverse mortgage as a home equity loan, without the payments and check – simply a loan that’s made based on the equity you have in your home.
