Most borrowers access roughly 35 to 60 percent of their home's value, depending on age and interest rates.

Why San Marino homeowners use reverse mortgages

San Marino’s estates change hands rarely and appraise among the highest in the San Gabriel Valley, almost always above the FHA limit. Longtime owners here are classic jumbo reverse mortgage candidates: enormous equity, deep roots, and no intention of leaving.

The money is yours to use how you want: paying off an existing mortgage to end the monthly payment, covering in-home care, home repairs, everyday bills, or simply a cushion that lets you stop worrying.
