This is not a caregiving question and we aren't professional financial advisors. Please go to: bogleheads.org if you want crowd-sourced financial advice. This is an anonymous global forum of just ordinary people and if you are given bad advice here then there's no accountability. Are you willing to risk that?

When you payback your loan to your 401k you payback interest to yourself. If you take that loan out with your reverse mortgage you pay interest to the lender.
I have taken loans out on my 401k and I have made money paying myself back!
