If you default on your mortgage and go into foreclosure, the bank can seize your house. The consequences are that this is a horrible thing to have on your credit record; it will make it very hard for you to get credit for years to come, and any credit you do get will cost you far more because you'll be offered terrible interest rates. You'll be better off if you can sell your house than if you let the bank take it.

Sorry we do not understand what you are asking. A bank lends money to finance your purchase of a house - the loan made is secured on the house and is called a mortgage. While the mortgage is not paid off the bank actually own the house and you can not raise more money secured against it without the bank's permission. There is no such thing as a "reverse mortgage".

You would need to go to a bank or a mortgage broker. First you will need a pre-approval, then you can start looking for a house. Then once you have made an offer on a house you like and it's accepted, then you go back to the bank/broker you got the pre-approval from and then actually apply for the loan.
