Reverse Mortgage Info

What's a reverse mortgage and how does it work?
A reverse mortgage is a loan designed to help you tap into the equity in your home. It's called a reverse mortgage because unlike a forward mortgage, where you make payments, a reverse mortgage pays you. In fact, one of the greatest benefits is that you do not have to make loan payments for as long as you live in your home. With a reverse mortgage, you can turn the value of your home into cash without having to move or to repay a loan each month.

Reverse mortgages typically require no repayment for as long as you -- or any co-owner(s) -- live in your home. So they differ from other home loans in these important ways:

You don't need any income to qualify for a reverse mortgage
You don't have to make monthly repayments on a reverse mortgage
You can receive additional monthly income
You are fully insured and protected against owing more than your home value
You can never lose your home as long as you maintain the property and pay the property taxes

The reverse mortgage industry is undergoing rapid and positive change. With the first wave of baby boomers set to turn 62 in 2008 and the personal savings rate at an all-time low, additional options to fund retirement plans are an obvious need.

You continue to own and maintain full control over your home. With a reverse mortgage, your home title remains with you.

To qualify, there are only a few requirements:

You, and any other owners of your home, must be aged 62 or over, live in your home as a principal residence, and not be delinquent on any federal debt.
You must be a homeowner and have enough equity to qualify for the program.
Your home must be a single-family residence in a 1- to 4-unit dwelling, or part of a planned unit development (PUD) or a HUD-approved condominium; some manufactured housing is eligible, but cooperatives and many mobile homes are not.
Your home must meet HUD's minimum property standards, but you can use the HECM to pay for repairs that may be required.
You must discuss the program with a counselor from a HUD-approved counseling agency.
