Myth: The bank takes your home.

Myth: It's only for desperate situations.

Many homeowners use home equity as a deliberate retirement planning tool — to protect savings, fund care at home, or remove a monthly mortgage payment.

You keep the title. A reverse mortgage is a loan secured by your home's equity — the home remains yours as long as you live in it and maintain it.

It isn't — and we'll tell you plainly when it isn't. Your goals, timeline, and family situation all shape whether this option fits.
