Top Ten Things to Know if you are interested in a Reverse Mortgage

Reverse Mortgages are becoming popular in America. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) created one of the first. There are also other reverse mortgage programs designed by FNMA and others to accommodate differing scenarios. HUD’s reverse mortgage program is a federally insured private loan, and it’s a safe plan that can give older Americans greater financial security. Many seniors use it to supplement social security, meet unexpected medical expenses, make home improvements and more. Since your home is probably your largest single investment, it’s smart to know more about reverse mortgages, and decide if one is right for you!  You can receive free information about reverse mortgages by calling 1-888-785-5055, toll free.

1. What is a Reverse Mortgage?

A reverse mortgage is a special type of home loan that let’s a homeowner convert a portion of the equity in his or her home into cash. The equity built up over years of home mortgage payments can be paid to you. But, unlike a traditional home equity loan or second mortgage, no payment is required until the borrower(s) no longer use the home as their principle residence. Reverse mortgages provide these benefits, and is federally-insured as well.

2. Can I qualify for a reverse mortgage?

To be eligible for a reverse mortgage, the borrower(s) is required to be a homeowner, 62  years of age or older; own your home outright, or have a mortgage balance that can be paid off at the closing with the proceeds from the reverse mortgage loan; and must live in the home as a primary residence. You are further required to receive consumer information from a HUD approved counseling source prior to obtaining the loan.

3. Can I apply even if I did not buy my present home with FHA mortgage insurance?

Yes. It does not matter if you did not buy it with an FHA-insured mortgage. Your new HUD reverse mortgage will be a new FHA-insured mortgage loan.

4. What types of homes are eligible?

Your home must be a single family dwelling or a two-to-four unit property that you own and occupy. Townhomes, detached homes, units in FHA approved condominiums and some manufactured homes are eligible.

5. What’s the difference between a reverse mortgage and a bank home equity loan?

With a traditional second mortgage, or a home equity line of credit, you must have sufficient income versus debt ratio to qualify for a loan, and you are required to make monthly mortgage payments. The reverse mortgage is different in that it pays you, and is available regardless of your current income. The amount you can borrow depends on your age, the current interest rate, and the appraised value of your home or FHA’s mortgage limits for your area, whichever is less. Generally, the more valuable your home is, the older you are, the lower the interest, the more you can borrow. You do not make payments, because the loan is not due as long as the house is your principle residence. Like all homeowners, you are still required to pay your real estate taxes and homeowner’s insurance, utilities, etc., but with an FHA Reverse Mortgage, you cannot be foreclosed or forced to vacate your house because you “missed your mortgage payment.”

6. Can the lender take your home away?

No! You do not need to repay the loan as long as you or one of the borrowers continues to live in the house and keeps the taxes and insurance current. You can never owe more than your home’s value.

7. Will I still have an estate that I can leave to my heirs?

When you sell your home or no longer use it for your primary residence, you or your estate will repay the cash you received from the reverse mortgage, plus interest and other fees to the lender. The remaining equity in your home, if any, belongs to you or to your heirs. None of your assets will be affected by the HUD’s reverse mortgage loan. This debt will never be passed along to the estate or heirs.

8. How much money can I get from my home?

The amount you can borrow depends on your age, the current interest rate, and the appraised value of your home or FHA’s lending limits in your area, whichever is less. Generally, the older you are, the more valuable your home is the lower the interest rate, the more you can borrow.

9. Should I use an estate planning service to find a reverse mortgage?

I have been contacted by a firm that will give me the name of a lender for a “small percentage “of the loan? HUD does not recommend using an estate planning service, or any service that charges a fee just for referring a borrower to a lender! Information, referrals and counseling are all available to you for free.

10. How do I receive my payments?

You have five options:

 

·         Tenure- equal payments as long as at least one borrower lives and continues to occupy the property as a principle residence.

·         Term-equal monthly payments for a fixed period of months selected

·         Line of Credit-unscheduled payments or in installments, at times and in amounts of borrower’s choosing until the line of credit is exhausted.

·         Modified Tenure-combination of line of credit with monthly payments for as long as the borrower remains in the home.

·         Modified Term-combination of line of credit with monthly payments for a fixed period of months selected by the borrower.
