A convertible, home-equity based financial product is disclosed. Example embodiments of the invention provide a home loan that can be converted into a reverse mortgage, also known as an “equity release” product. In example embodiments, the product can be set up so that there is a low or no-documentation requirement upon conversion. Conversion can be triggered upon a request from the borrower, or upon some other event. The proceeds from the conversion can be provided in many different ways, for example, as a lump sum, an investment, a line of credit, or a scheduled pay-out. The proceeds from the equity release can also be distributed so as to be used in purchasing a residence, for example, a second or vacation home.
