Can I still apply for a reverse mortgage if I am still paying off my home?

I am still paying off my home, but I am interested in getting a reverse mortgage. Is this a possibility, or do I have to have the home paid off before I can consider a reverse mortgage?

Yes, you can still be paying off your home and take out a reverse mortgage. You are required to pay off your existing mortgage with the proceeds of your reverse mortgage, and then the remaining equity is yours to use as you wish. There is no set percentage of how much of your mortgage you must have paid off, but as an estimate, you are more likely to qualify for a reverse mortgage if you have paid off at least 50 percent of your mortgage. This figure is simply an estimate though as each case is looked at individually. Many of our seniors choose to take a reverse mortgage for this exact reason.
