The ideal situation is for the home to already be paid off; that allows you access to a larger loan amount. However, if it is not paid off then that is not a problem. In general, as long as you have sufficient equity in your home to pay off your existing mortgage, then you can get a reverse mortgage. Specifically, the loan amount is based on the age of the youngest borrower, the appraisal value of the home, and market interest rates at the time your loan is closed.

In order to get real, accurate numbers, I would suggest for you to get in touch with one of our Professionals. They will be able to determine whether or not you qualify and how much you would be eligible for.
