Opting for reverse mortgage funding is a big decision. Qualified advice is invaluable in deciding whether one is right for you. The same goes for choosing a mortgage lender who knows all aspects of reverse mortgages.
What is a Reverse Mortgage?
A reverse mortgage is a unique loan that allows homeowners age 62 and older to get the value of their home paid to the homeowner in various valuation options or used as credit. One of the unique things about a reverse mortgage is that it doesn’t pay off until the homeowner no longer lives in the home, the last remaining borrower dies, or the loan obligations are met. An example of a reverse mortgage or HECM policy/obligation is to pay property taxes and collateral and keep the property under the FHA policy (if the opposite mortgage is an FHA HECM loan).
A mortgage lender must adhere to strict ethical behaviour. They should inform you of all loan terms clearly, taking into account your needs and goals. They shouldn’t pressure you or take you to any other type of loan, such as a loan. Such as an annuity that may not be in your best interests. If you feel like you are under pressure, don’t hesitate to look around. It is your decision; only you can decide what is right for you.
