A reverse mortgage gives you access to your home equity — but how that money gets to you is flexible.
Here are the 4 ways you can receive funds:
Lump Sum
Take all your available funds upfront — great if you want to pay off an existing mortgage, cover large expenses, or invest in one big goal.
Monthly Payments
Think of it like a paycheck in retirement. You’ll receive a set amount every month, creating consistent income.
Line of Credit
This is one of the most powerful tools.
You don’t pay interest on what you don’t use… and the unused line actually grows over time.
It’s like giving yourself a financial safety net that expands every year.
Combo Approach
Mix and match the options above.
For example: Take a small lump sum now, receive monthly income, and leave the rest in a growing line of credit.
Is It Taxed?
Nope. Reverse mortgage proceeds are considered loan funds, not income — so they’re not taxable.
Which Option Is Best?
That depends on your goals.
The right structure can support aging in place, reduce tax impact, and provide long-term peace of mind.
I’ll help you model it all out.
