Reverse Mortgage any comment?

Posted on: 05th May, 2009 10:15 am
Most of the times I have heard the term '[size=24:7f0d98dc58][color=Blue:7f0d98dc58]reverse mortgage[/color:7f0d98dc58][/size:7f0d98dc58]'.

Can somebody shed some light on this new concept?

:arrow: :arrow: :wink:
Here is a short explaination

Reverse mortgage enables older homeowners (62+) to convert part of the equity in their homes into tax-free income without having to sell the home, give up title, or take on a new monthly mortgage payment. The reverse mortgage is aptly named because the payment stream is “reversed.” Instead of making monthly payments to a lender, as with a regular mortgage, a lender makes payments to you.

Your age and house value will be the deciding favor in how much you can borrow.

Hi gunz,

First of all, reverse mortgage is not a 'new' concept. It has been there for quite some time. The primary difference between a reverse mortgage and a regular mortgage is that in reverse mortgage, you do not make any payment to the lender. Instead, it is the lender who makes payments to you. Reverse mortgage is available to those who are 62 years old or more. The credit and income requirements are also far less stringent than those in case of a regular mortgage.
