The Reverse Mortgage Cons:
1. Mortgage Insurance (MI) - Regardless of how much equity you have in your home, if you do an FHA loan, you are going to have mortgage insurance.

Reverse mortgage is a kind of mortgage focusing mainly on a lien on the property in question. Interest is not collected on a monthly basis, but instead it is added up into a total amount and is then made into a lien unto the title of the property itself. A lien is a type or form of security interest in a land, house, building or any other immovable property that is granted to the creditor in order to guarantee payment from the debtor. If the debtor is unable to pay the creditor for the amount owed then the creditor can go after the property through the lien. As such, if the borrower or debtor in a reverse mortgage is unable to pay the creditor or lender, the latter will have the lien as an enforceable right in order to collect the amount owed from the former.
