Reverse mortgages are providing flexible income options for seniors
This is advertiser content for Heartland Seniors Finance.
Australians are living longer than ever before. Unfortunately, not everyone has enough savings to fund this longer retirement and, as a result, over half of senior Australians rely on a government pension or allowance as their main source of retirement income.*
While this income provides great assistance, we know it only just covers basic needs. When unexpected expenses arise, that's not always enough, with 1 in 10 Australians aged 65 and over having problematic credit card debt.^
But downsizing, or relying on debt with repayments that eat into your cash flow, are not the only options available.
A reverse mortgage could allow you to access the equity in your home to fund a more comfortable retirement, while continuing to own and live in your home, and enjoy the independence and connection it provides to family, friends and community.
A reverse mortgage is like a regular home loan that has been designed to meet the needs of seniors. Regular loan repayments are not required, though they can be made at any time. Interest is added monthly to the loan, and only when you move permanently from your home is the total loan repayable, usually from its sale.
The Heartland Reverse Mortgage is also more flexible than ever, so that you can access what you need, as and when you need it. Watch this video to find out about the different ways you may be able to access your home equity.
