The amount of money you can get from a reverse mortgage depends upon a number of factors, such as the current market value of your home, your age, current interest rates, the type of reverse mortgage, its associated costs and your financial assessment. The amount you receive will also be impacted if the home has any other mortgages or liens. If there’s a balance from a home equity loan or home equity line of credit (HELOC), for example, or tax liens or judgments, those will have to be paid with the reverse mortgage proceeds first. “Regardless of the type of reverse mortgage, you shouldn’t expect to receive the full value of your home,” Boies says. “Instead, you’ll get a percentage of that value.”
