Reverse
“Reverse” in reverse mortgage refers to the reversal in payment flows. With a standard mortgage, the balance starts high, and the borrower makes payments each month to lower it. With a reverse mortgage, the opposite is true. The initial loan balance is relatively low, and it grows over time as the borrower draws funds and as interest adds to it.
