How long do I have to pay back a reverse mortgage?
I have had my 2 bedroom home paid off for 32 years, and want to get a reverse mortgage. Is there a certain amount of time I have to pay this back?

There is no set pay back date applied to a reverse mortgage. The loan program has been designed so you do not need to repay the money until you sell your property, permanently move out, or when you pass away. As long as you continue to pay your home insurance premiums and property taxes, and keep your home in a good state of repair, the loan can last as long as you need it to. When the loan does become due and payable, you will simply owe the reverse mortgage lender the original loan amount, plus any interest and fees that have accrued over the length of time the loan was actioned for.
