Reverse Mortgage
They are fantastic programs and offer a variety of payouts to the customer.  The borrower can receive a lump sum payment, a monthly payment, the availability of a line of credit to draw at their leisure OR a combination of the 3.  These loans are very flexible. 

The Reverse Mortgages have no monthly payments for the life of the loan.  All interest is added to the principal balance to be paid back when the loan is paid off.  The loan is due when the home is no longer the borrower’s primary residence.  At the time of the sale of the property, if there is negative equity in the property, it becomes the lender’s issue.  The borrower and or their heirs will not be responsible for making up any difference between the sales price and the balance due. 

If there is positive equity, the proceeds will go to the borrower’s designated heirs.  These programs are not as simple as getting the value of the property and multiplying it by a Loan to Value factor to come up with the available loan amount.  Age, zip code, property value, and product type (ARM (many available) vs. Fixed) will determine the amount available.  These loans normally float until closing so the loan amount may fluctuate a little between application and settlement.

If you are interested in learning more and/or finding out what you qualify for, we will need a complete application to run through a Reverse Mortgage application engine to generate proposed terms for you.  Complete a “Forward” application online, and put in $1 for loan amount at 1% fixed over 30 years.  This will allow you to complete the rest of the application.  Don’t complete any liabilities as we will get this from your credit report.  While we don’t verify income or assets, the information is required on the application as is a credit report even though credit and credit scores are not a determining factor in the approval process.
