Can you take out a reverse mortgage that's smaller than what your home is worth?
My home is worth $650,000. If I take out a reverse mortgage, will I be required to take out all $650,000?? Or can you take out less money than what your home is worth?

If you take out a reverse mortgage, you are not given access to the full amount of equity in your home - there needs to be a cushion for accruing interest over time. In general, borrowers can access 40%-60% of their home value through a reverse mortgage. We will calculate an amount you can borrow using the value of your home, the age of the youngest borrower, and current interest rates. Please do call us today to see how much you may qualify for.
