Understanding Reverse Mortgages

By
Mortgage and Lending with The Federal Savings Bank

Many seniors don't know about Reverse Mortgages or have preconceived misconceptions.  Did you know that many programs are insured by our government? These are Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECM's).  Most programs require you to reside in your home and be a senior 62 years or older. 

  • You cannot go into default because there are no mortgage payments. 
  • Reverse mortgage lenders have no claim on your income or other assets.
  • You will never owe more than the home's value at the time of sale even if you have received more benefits than the home was worth. 
  • There are no income qualifications. 
  • You remain on title to your home and may live there for as long as you want.
  • Equity from your home does not reduce your social security benefits.

If you know of a senior struggling to make mortgage payments, please send them a copy of this newsletter.  It might just change their life for the better.

What an original article.  You are truly talented and well worded.

Many Seniors today are taking advantage of Long Term Care insurance, which gives them an option to receive care in the comfort of their own home.

A Reverse Mortgage is one of the most popular ways to fund the cost of this insurance.

Ted:

Thanks for your kind words & ratification of this information.  In home care is likely to continue growing in popularity with the graying of the American population. I believe this is the right product at the right time.  It saddens me to think there are seniors making choices without knowing about this option.
