How to Get a Reverse Mortgage
Expert Guidance for Homeowners 62+
As an older American homeowner, you have likely invested significant time and money in your home over the years, and it’s only natural that you want to leverage that investment to support yourself and your family in retirement.
Our website is designed to educate you about how a reverse mortgage loan works, how it can help you access the equity in your home, providing you with a stream of tax-free cash proceeds to supplement your retirement savings or to meet other everyday financial needs you may already have now.
Better Understanding Reverse Mortgage
Unlike traditional mortgages, a reverse mortgage loan allows you to receive payments from the equity in your home — and you are not required to make monthly payments (though you remain responsible for property taxes and insurance). The loan is repaid when you cease using your home as your principal residence, when you otherwise default on the loan terms, or when you or your spouse pass away.
We understand that the decision to pursue a reverse mortgage is a significant financial choice. That’s why we’ve developed a comprehensive reverse mortgage calculator to help you determine whether this type of loan may be the right fit for you.
Our calculator is easy to use and provides an instant estimate of your eligibility based on your age, home value, and other contributing factors. Simply input your information and within seconds you’ll receive an estimate of how much you could potentially receive — along with estimated fees and costs associated with this type of loan.
Our website is also a full resource hub. Our educational articles cover everything from the basics of reverse mortgages to the detailed pros and cons, so you can make an informed, confident decision.

The team from American Senior Lending was very professional without being stuffy. Rene Batlle was easy to work with and made sure I understood all of the options available to me. He kept in touch to give me support during the whirlwind 6 weeks from interview to signing. Christina Corona pushed all of the paperwork through making sure that everything was done right. I highly recommend American Senior Lending when you need help to stay in your home.Posted on Google Loyce AlligoodTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Out of four loan companies, these folks were the only ones that were actually able to get me to a closing table, I had a acreage with a manufactured home on it and it made it much more difficult to close the loan but these folks did it!Posted on Google Ed WullschlegerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I are very happy with the results of our business with American Senior Lending and Alex in particular. We waited a bit after our first contact until our house value and the interest rates made things a little better. At that point Alex showed us how we could pay off our HELOC and get some cash back with the reverse mortgage. We proceeded with it in the spring of 2025 and as of early 2026, our finances are in good shape. We will be watching to see if we can refinance on even better terms, hopefully sometime this year or next. We plan to work with Alex and American Senior Living when or if that happens.Posted on Google Steve GilbertTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
