What to consider before you decide

Cash-flow vs. equity

HELOCs keep payments low and flexible; refinances can reset amortization; reverse mortgages remove monthly payments but grow your balance. We’ll map outcomes over 5–10 years.

Penalty math & costs

Breaking a term can make sense—or not. I include penalties, legal, appraisal, and title costs so you see thenetpicture, not just a rate.

Future moves

Thinking of gifting to family, traveling more, or downsizing later? We’ll choose terms that keep options open.

Documentation

Government ID, income verification, down-payment/equity proof, property tax/insurance—straightforward when you know what’s needed. I’ll provide a checklist.
