What is the difference between mortgage and reverse mortgage?

A mortgage and a reverse mortgage are both types of home loans, but they work in opposite ways. A mortgage is a loan that helps a borrower purchase or refinance a home. The homeowner borrows money from a lender and repays it through monthly installments, which include principal and interest. Over time, as the borrower makes payments, the loan balance decreases, and home equity increases. If the borrower fails to make payments, they risk foreclosure. A reverse mortgage, on the other hand, is designed primarily for homeowners aged 62 or older who want to convert their home equity into cash. Instead of making monthly payments to the lender, the homeowner receives payments from the lender—either as a lump sum, monthly payments, or a line of credit. The loan balance increases over time as interest accrues, and repayment is not required until the homeowner moves out, sells the home, or passes away. However, the homeowner must continue paying property taxes, insurance, and maintenance costs to avoid foreclosure. In simple terms, a mortgage requires the homeowner to pay the lender, while a reverse mortgage allows the homeowner to receive payments from the lender using their home equity.
