In most cases, a line of credit from a reverse mortgage cannot be used in that manner. You can draw the money up to a certain limit, but you generally are not allowed to pay it back over time. Some companies may permit you to use the line of credit in such a fashion, but the decision is made on a company-by-company basis, and the majority of lenders do not offer such an option
