Overall Rating:   | Hi Bandlg,
You can get a reverse mortgage on your house when you have an existing mortgage depending on your LTV (Loan to Value) ratio. If you LTV is low enough, then the initial proceeds from a Reverse Mortgage are used to pay off the existing mortgage and then any remaining funds are available to you to use as you see fit.
Some people choose to get a reverse mortgage, even if there are no funds remaining after closing out their existing mortgage - they do this so that they can get rid of their current monthly mortgage payment and improve their monthly cash flow situation.
