What have you heard about reverse mortgages?

Misconception: If I take out a reverse mortgage the lender will own my home. Reality: Homeowners still retain title and ownership to their homes during the life of the Reverse Mortgage.

Misconception: I can’t get a reverse mortgage if I have an existing mortgage. Reality: With enough equity, you may be able to pay off your existing mortgage or other debt with the reverse mortgage.

Misconception: I’ve heard I won’t qualify for a RM because of my income. Reality: Unlike a traditional mortgage where mortgage payments must be made each month, a RM pays you. There are no income, asset or credit qualifications.

Misconception: There are restrictions on how RM proceeds may be used. Reality: There are no restrictions. The cash proceeds from the RM can be used for any purpose.

Misconception: If I outlive my life expectancy, the lender will evict me. Reality: RM lenders put no time limit on how long you can stay in your home.

Misconception: My heirs will be responsible for the repayment of the RM Reality: RMs are non-recourse loans. That means, if the property is sold to pay-off the loan when you pass away or decide to leave the home for other reasons there will be no mortgaged debt for the family and heirs to repay

Recognizing the value of RM, the US Congress made substantial improvements to the federally issued HECM:

Raised loan limitsLowered feesCreated a RM for purchase programImplemented stricter consumer protections
