Home equity loans, HELOCs and reverse mortgages can all be cost-effective ways to finance home improvements next year, according to CBS MoneyWatch.
Why it matters: For those who qualify for a reverse mortgage, this can be a smart way to tap into your home equity, says CBS.
- “Reverse mortgages do what the name implies — they make payments in reverse to you, the homeowner.
- You’ll only need to repay the funds if you die or if you sell the home.
- For many older homeowners, then, this could be the best way to pay for 2025 home projects,” according to the article.
