To ensure that you can meet these ongoing financial responsibilitiesyou can establish a set-aside account that can be financed into your reverse mortgage to limit your initial,out-of-pocket expenses.If you don’t comply with your loan terms, however, your home could go into default, which could lead to foreclosure.It’s also important to note that while you cansell your home and pay off your loan balanceany time without a prepayment penalty, reversemortgages make more sense financially the longeryou plan to stay in your home, as you’re spreadingyour initial loan costs out over a longer period.Receiving funds from a reverse mortgage will notaffect your Social Security or Medicare.
