Reverse Mortgages

 

Equity rich and cash poor?  This loan may be the perfect answer for you.

What is a reverse mortgage?

A reverse mortgage is a home loan (used for any purpose) where seniors, 62 and older, can access the equity (cash) built up in their home and is quickly become one of the most sought after loans today. 

There are several different reverse mortgage programs. Fannie Mae Home KeeperŽ, Jumbo Cash-Out loan, and the HUD-insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) are three such programs. As demand increases, more reverse mortgage programs from different organizations will become available.

The Fannie Mae Home Keeper allows you to buy a home using a Reverse Mortgage! If you are able to put a 50% downpayment on a new home, you may be able to qualify for the FNMA Home Keeper which means after your 50% downpayment you don't have to make payments on the remaining balance of the loan!  Imagine that buying a home with a 50% downpayment and have no payments.  Give me a call and we can talk more about this wonderful program for seniors.

It is called a reverse mortgage because you borrow money from a lender, but the lender makes monthly payments to you, rather than you making monthly payments to the lender. All interest is paid at the end of the loan, rather than in the beginning.

What are some of the benefits of a reverse mortgage?

As the homeowner receives monthly cash income, the loan balance increases. In the following twelve-month example, the homeowner begins with a debt-free home. As money is received by the homeowner, the mortgage grows. By the end of month twelve, the homeowner owes the bank $6,000 plus $232.44 interest. All Reverse Mortgage loans have a variable rate.
