Thank you for visiting Bills.com. Here is an answer to your reverse mortgage question - which I think I can help you with.

Not all reverse mortgages are calculated using the adjustable rate on interest. Some lenders do offer fixed rate reverse mortgage, which typically has a higher interest rate than an adjustable rate mortgage. Please note that a fixed rate reverse mortgage only provides funds as an upfront lump sum payment while an adjustable rate reverse mortgage can provide your funds as a monthly payment, as a line of credit, and/or a lump sum payment.
