THE PROGRAM
Bill Watts and Debbie Lovett
Debbie Lovett from Security 1
Lending gave us a very thorough presentation on Reverse
Mortgages “What you should know.”
What is a reverse mortgage?
A reverse mortgage, also known
as the FHA HECM (Home Equity Conversion Mortgage), is a
federally insured loan that allows you to convert some of the
equity in your home into tax-free cash. It is a unique loan that
is easy to obtain if you are at least 62 years old and own home
or condo. You always remain the owner of your home.
A reverse mortgage can be a
great way for qualified homeowners to access equity in their
homes. A reverse mortgage can be used to improve your lifestyle
by supplementing your monthly income, covering healthcare costs,
paying off existing mortgages, fixing up your home or simply
gaining peace of mind. Whatever your specific goals, a reverse
mortgage can go a long way towards helping you maintain your
financial independence.
A Reverse Mortgage is a Unique
Home Loan:
-
There are no monthly
payments
-
There are no income or
credit requirements
-
It frees up a portion of
the home’s value that you can convert into tax-free cash.
-
Proceeds do not affect your
Social Security or Medicare benefits.
-
Its government insured –
neither you nor your heirs will ever be liable for a loan
balance should it exceed the value of your home.
-
You remain on title; the
bank does not acquire your home.
-
The loan is not due until
the last homeowner passes away, sells the home or
permanently moves out of the home.
