reno: Reverse Mortgages Can Save Senior’s Homes From Foreclosure - 07/21/12 11:43 AM
 
This morning, I was watching C-Span as I drank my morning coffee.  A gentleman from the Association of Realtors was on discussing the housing market.  A woman called in and asked about reverse mortgages. She said many seniors are loosing their homes and asked if reverse mortgages can help.  The C-Span guest went on to say that when the senior’s home is paid for, they can draw money monthly and ease their financial burden and that it was a good thing. What he failed to mention was, your home doesn't need to be paid off.

reno: Why Real Estate Agents Need to Know Reverse Mortgage Purchase Guidelines - 06/02/11 02:20 AM
I see it all the time, a buyer tells their agent they want to make an offer on a home and they plan to use a reverse mortgage for the financing.  The agent writes the offer as usual without considering the special requirements for the reverse mortgage. In this most recent example, six weeks went by before the buyer came to me for help.  They were working with a national reverse mortgage lender who didn't even know the guidelines!  What he learned was, their as-is offer would never work!  Six weeks waisted!

Rate Update on 4-3-11: The Fixed Rate is now 4.5% and the variable margin is 1.75%.  These rates carry origination fees.
 
It's pretty hard to believe that you can get a fixed rate reverse mortgage for 4% interest rate but it's true!  Now is a great time to get a reverse mortgage, especially if you have a home valued above the fha maximum claim amount becuase the max claim is currently $625,500 and scheduled to go down to $417,000 on October 1st. So with the incredibly low interest rates and high lending limits, make sure you don't miss this opportunity … (0 comments)
