With all the buzz about the incredibly competitive market for homes in Indiana, you’ve been wondering how long the situation can last. Several homes in your neighborhood have soldwell above asking price, within mere days of being put on the market. Despite the temptation to profit from your own home’s appreciation, you’ve made the decision to stay put.

At the same time, should your fear of the “bubble” bursting in the real estate market be come true at some point in the future, you would still be able to continue receiving a monthly income for as long as you remain in the home. In fact, should a time come when you can no longer stay in the home, even if the loan balance exceeds the property value at the time, neither you nor your estate would be liable for the deficiency.
Should a more positive scenario play itself out, on the other hand, with your home appreciating to a value that exceeds your mortgage loan, you can choose to refinance, increasing your monthly income.
A reverse mortgage can allow you to lock in home value on a “high note!
