Reverse Mortgage

                  Reverse Mortgage

A reverse mortgage is the opposite of a conventional home loan. It is an ideal option

for senior citizens who require regular income. For senior citizens who don't have financial support from their children or their children live in abroad and they don't want to live there. This policy is only for senior citizens. Generally in India people don't take reverse mortgage because they are emotionally attached with their property instead of using their property for regular income they choose a low standard life.
