No, you do not. Under the terms & conditions of a Reverse Mortgage, the lender will not ask that you pay monthly loan repayments. They still charge you interest every month, but the interest charges are added into your loan balance every month. However, these days, some lenders will allow you to make bulk loan repayments, or 'principal reductions' if you want to. If you suddenly come into money (e.g. inheritance, lottery win, etc), it is fine to pay this onto your Reverse Mortgage loan. Check with the lender first.
