Forward and Backward Mortgages: What Are They?
Forward Mortgage: A conventional home loan that requires you to repay the mortgage over time by making monthly payments to a lender. You gain ownership as you repay the borrowed amount.
Reverse Mortgage: This type of mortgage is usually used by individuals at least 62 years old or older; it enables them to convert some portion of their home equity into cash. In most cases, the creditor will only ask for repayment once you sell your house, move out permanently, or die.
Main Contrasts:
Payment Direction: In forward mortgages, money is given to lenders, whereas in reverse mortgages, lenders give money to borrowers.
Utilization of Equity: While forward ones build it up, backward ones tap into this resource.
