If you're 62 or older, and you own your own home, and you need extra cash coming in each month, then you may want to think about getting a reverse mortgage.

A reverse mortgage will give you either a lump sum or monthly amount and you won't owe a penny back until after the house is sold. If you have parents who are elderly and have cash-flow problems, a reverse mortgage might help.

Here are some resources for more information:

• Financial Freedom is the largest reverse mortgage lender in the country. www.financialfreedom.com

• Ken Schoelen helped launch the concept of reverse mortgages. Find him online at www.reverse.org or at www.aarp.com

• HUD has good information on reverse mortgages at www.hud.gov

• Fannie Mae also has information on reverse mortgages at www.homepath.com
