Reverse Mortgage
April 14, 2009
Reserve mortgage actually loan available to seniors, and is used to open a home equity in the property as one or more of the payment amount. The homeowner’s obligation to repay the loan is deferred until the owner dies, the home is sold, or the owner leaves (eg, into aged care). To be eligible for reverse mortgage in the United States, the borrower must be at least 63 years. There is no minimum income or credit requirements, but there are other requirements and Homeowners must ensure that they qualify for a loan before they invest significant time or money to proses.Sebelum in the loan, the applicant must find a third party financial counseling from a source approved by the Department of Housing and City Development (HUD). The great part about a reverse mortgage is that it can be a tool to aid in retirement not only for seniors having a difficult time with their finances, but also for seniors who are looking to take that trip they’ve always wanted to take or visit the grandkids more often.
The amount of money available to the consumer is determined by some primary factors, such as :
a. the appraised value property, whether any health or safety repairs needs to be made to the house and whether there are any existing liens to the house.
b. with the interest rate, as determined by 1 year U.S. Treasury T-Bill, LIBOR index or the 1 Year CMT.
c. that older age (the older the senior is, the more money he will receive).
d. whether the payment is taken as a type of loan, amount, or a monthly
payment. Line of credit will maximize the money available, while providing the amount of cash immediately, but the cost of interest rates. Monthly payment is set up as a “Tenure” payment.
e. Property value, and whether the value is higher than the national loan limit set by HUD.
All these factors contribute to the Total Annual Loan Cost (talc) as defined by U.S. Federal Government Regulation Z, the only value that includes all loan fees.
There are several websites that discuss reverse mortgages and provide details for seniors. Getting started with a reverse mortgage is usually done with a competent loan officer that can give you details, tell you how much you can qualify for and provide some insight into whether or not a reverse mortgage is right for you.
