Reverse Mortgage

A type of loan that can provide income to people who own their home or have considerable equity. The lender makes periodic payments to the homeowner, using the equity as collateral. At the end of the loan, the lender usually sells the home. Many retired people consider reverse mortgages as a way to supplement their fixed income.

Right of Rescission

Your legal right to cancel a refinance on your primary residence, bridge loan or home equity loan for any reason, for three business days after you have signed the loan contract. As required by federal law, the loan will not be finalized and no money will be issued until the rescission period has ended.
