If you are 90 years old and have $14K in savings and own you home outright and it's worth about $100K and have no debts....what are the chances of getting a home equity line of credit...if you only get SS of $1073/mo and $175/mo from a pension?
You'll probably be able to get a Home Equity Line, but not for very much, and it'll have a monthly mortgage payment associated with it if you're able to get it.
The Reverse Mortgage program sponsored by HUD is designed for your situation. You'll receive $72,436 in cash, or a monthly check (tax free, and doesn't affect Social Security or Medicare) for $1,373.00. And no monthly mortgage payments.

thanks for the feedback. a quit claim deed to a family member and them getting a home equity loan might make more sense, i don't want a reverse mortgage, where i have to stay in the home.
I agree that a reverse mortgage is probably the best option.
>>A QUIT CLAIM DEED TO A FAMILY MEMBER AND THEM GETTING A HOME EQUITY LOAN MIGHT MAKE MORE SENSE
You'll have a Title Seasoning problem, plus the fact that it's a transaction between family members. Both of those are problems with Lenders.
>>I DON'T WANT A REVERSE MORTGAGE, WHERE I HAVE TO STAY IN THE HOME
You don't have to stay in the home, it just has to be your primary residence. That means you have to reside in it for at least 183 days out of the year (6 months). Once a year, on the anniverary date of your loan, the Lender will send you a letter, asking if you're still living in your home. You'll sign and date it, check off the box that says your home is still your primary residence, and mail it back to them.
