Reverse Mortgage, HUD Lenders

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

American senior homeowners can take out a loan known as a reverse mortgage. Reverse mortgages are for seniors 62 or older that own their home. The money the senior receives can be paid out in either monthly income or as a lump sum or even a line of credit to draw upon. Money the senior receives from the reverse mortgage is considered tax-free.

 

Before considering a reverse mortgage many seniors consult with financial planners, attorneys, and family members to make sure the reverse mortgage is the best option for them. It is required that seniors talks with a HUD approved counselor to learn more about the HECM (Home Equity Conversion Mortgage) loan and to understand the fees involved with the loan which some are regulated by the government.

What can the senior do with a Reverse Mortgage?

Sunday, March 15th, 2009

Seniors, who decide to do a reverse mortgage, can spend the money any way they wish. Many go on their dream vacation, once thought to be only a dream but now a reality. Some decide to redo parts of their homes, a home makeover so they can live in a nicer place and be more comfortable.  Many seniors find once they pay off their current mortgage by doing a reverse mortgage they are free to do a lot of things once thought not possible. The reverse mortgage simply allows seniors to make choices, it allows them financial freedom, freedom to take weekend trips, help their families, fix their homes or even make them better.  The money given to the senior from the lender is tax free, and the senior makes no payments on the loan. Seniors should talk with a reverse mortgage consultant to see if the loan is right for them.

Home Health Care and Reverse Mortgage

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

Seniors have many options when it comes to long term care. Choosing to receive long-term care at home by a trained nurse or care giver, allows the senior to avoid moving into a nursing home. This also provides the senior a more comfortable existence with more time with their family in the comfort of their own home. A reverse mortgage can help the senior pay for raising cost of long-term care. If you are a senior 62 or older, and you own your home, you can apply for a reverse mortgage to help pay for home care or a long term care policy.

A reverse mortgage loan will allow a senior to borrow money from the home’s equity that the senior has built up through the years paying on their regular mortgage. This allows the senior to use the money for any desire they wish. The senior does have to make any repayments to the lender as long as they live in the home. The money the senior receives from the loan can be received in three ways lump sum, monthly, or line of credit, the funds the senior receives is tax free.

Helping Parents with Reverse Mortgages

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

If your parents are 62 years of age or older you may want to consider telling them about Reverse Mortgages. Some seniors today are stressed about their living expenses and are having a difficult time making ends meet. Like most seniors your parents probable saved for their retirement just to have everything turned to shambles because of the current economy and stock market. A Reverse Mortgage can give your parents the money they need to live the stress-free life they deserve and worked so hard for.

The Reverse Mortgage will allow your parents to remain in their home without paying a monthly mortgage. The title will remain in their name until either they have moved from the home or passed away. The money your parents receive will be tax free and paid to them, either by lump some or monthly payments from the lender.

You and your parents should consult with a HUD approved consoler to educate yourselves on the pros and cons of a Reverse Mortgage. The Reverse Mortgage program might not be the best fit for all seniors so it is very important that you and your parents are well educated on how the loan works.

Reverse Mortgage and Gold

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

This past week I had a very nice older lady apply for a Reverse Mortgage, she asked all the right questions but was pushy on one topic, which was how long would it take to complete the loan process. After explaining to her that a appraisal would lock in her property value and she would have nothing to worry about if the value of her home went south during the loan process which could take longer than a month. After hearing this, the lady said she was not too worried about her property value; she was more concerned about the price of gold.  She went on to explain that she was doing a reverse mortgage so she could afford to buy more gold and believed its price would continue to increase, and was a safe haven for her money.  I found this to be a very interesting conversation and a sign of the times.
