摘要：Most people have probably heard of reverse
mortgage loans. But even though these loans
have been getting more attention lately, it¡¯s
possible that many people still aren¡¯t sure
about what reverse mortgages really are. This is not
surprising, since reverse mortgages are a relatively new
type of mortgage loan. Although reverse mortgages are
currently used by only a small fraction of people, their
popularity has been growing in recent years. In this
article, Makoto Nakajima discusses reverse mortgage
loans, particularly the most popular type, which is
administered by the government. He discusses who
uses reverse mortgage loans and how they are used and
compares the pros and cons of these mortgages.
