6. Weigh reverse mortgage pros and cons
When you’re at or nearing the end of your financial rope, many people claim that getting a reverse mortgage will help you avoid financial ruin. While this may be true for some people, it could cause more damage than good to some. That’s why it’s important to weigh your options and try to use this as a last resort.
That’s because you’ll still be borrowing money against your house. Don’t let this slip your mind just because instead of paying money every month you’ll be receiving it. It’s still a risky move and it could cost you dearly if you’re not careful.
Try looking at other avenues first and if it’s still a viable options for you, your household and your plans, go for it!
