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.
