Reverse Mortgage

Seniors over 62 of age can be benefitted by reverse mortgage. It helps them to take away the financial crisis from their shoulder through the money they have accumalated as home equity over many years. Borrowers are being paid by lenders which is the other way around. The amount is calculated on the basis of the property value minus the money owed. And hence they can spend these money for their own use like retirement, medical expenses, vehicle costs, home repairs, estate planning, education the grandkids and more.

In order to obtain this kind of mortgage your current mortgage does not need to be paid off. It will be paid off according to the loan terms. In addition, no monthly payments. There are multiple ways to receive your money including in one lump sum, in monthly payments, as a line of credit or a combination of these methods.

This type of mortgage will not affect your social security or Medicare. It could affect your SSI. The qualifications are easy being credit, income based, and a repayment if you stay in the home for a long time. After death, the estate is not responsible for remaining payments. Each institution is different and some allow you to set aside a portion of the value of your home to pass to your estate. If you sell your home, you could use the money to pay off the mortgage.

Do your homework and be informed when it comes to your housing. There are actually different types of mortgages and in this case, there are three main ones:

Single Purpose- for those with low-moderate incomes
Home Equity Conversion- backed by HUD and come with stipulations
Proprietary- companies that create them insure them

Factors like age, home value, location and interest rates can affect your mortgage so you should consider contacting a loans officer. However, be careful because there are crooks out there who will take more then they should when it comes to your money! Ask friends and family.
