New Reverse Mortgage Program Offers New Opportunities for Consumers
The new, consolidated reverse mortgage was already introduced five months ago but that doesn't mean we should stop trying to educate consumers. In fact, I think five months is relatively short in the face of all the industry wishes to accomplish with the new program.
As a potential retirement planning tool, the reverse mortgage has a long way to go as far as public perception is concerned but where there is a will there's a way.
One of the best feelings recently has been talking to a potential client about the program and explaining to them that the program is no longer what it once was, it's different and, for that reason alone, it is a lot better than it was.
It is a safer program, for both the consumers who are planning their retirement and the lenders who provide the funds in order for consumers to live more comfortably. It is a more advantageous program for consumers who are thinking long term "rainy day" fund.
It is even more advantageous for consumers thinking short term because they still have the ability to access 60% of their principal limit at closing, if need be, and receive the rest of the funds a year later, ensuring that borrowers are more insulated against spending all their funds quickly.
Do most consumers know about all these changes? Probably not...but that's where I come in. It's my responsibility to provide this information. And nothing is more rewarding than to hear the light bulb go on in a consumer's voice as I explain the new program.
Maybe it wasn't for them how it was structured beforehand, maybe it was but there were just waiting for something different. Well, the time is now for reverse mortgages.
Safer program. New opportunities. And a lot of ways to plan for a comfortable retirement.
