Yes, it works exactly like the traditional forward mortgage. You pay back the Lender what you owe, and keep the remaining equity for yourself. Reverse Mortgages don't have pre-payment penalties, so you can pay back the Lender anytime you want, without penalty.
You can also refinance a Reverse Mortgage. You can refinance it with another Reverse Mortgage, or with a Forward Mortgage.
