The specialists at All Reverse Mortgage Company are passionate about seniors and their right to age with dignity in place. We believe that everyone deserves the right to use the equity in their homes to enrich their lives, (whether that be in the form of home improvement or fixing their homes to accommodate their changing lives) augmenting their retirement income, obtaining additional cash for medical needs, travel or for any other needs you may have. Whatever your needs are, you have spent a lifetime paying for your home to build equity and now it's time for your equity to pay for those needs for you.
2. Reverse Mortgages are designed for senor borrowers, aged 62 and older, which allows the equity in their homes to pay them rather than them paying for their home, the homeowner never makes a payment. The most common reverse mortgages are the government insured mortgages which the Federal Housing Administration allows lenders to originate and HUD insures. This program was signed into law by Ronald Reagan in 1988 and to date, HUD has insured more than 300,000 senior reverse mortgages, allowing more than 300,000 seniors the opportunity to age at home. There are also private programs available for seniors living in higher valued homes that may be too high for FHA feasibility, and All Reverse Mortgage Company offers a wide range of both government and non-government products! What is a Reverse Mortgage ?
3. How are Reverse Mortgages different Today? You may have heard about the early problems some reverse mortgage programs had. Early programs contained provisions which allowed for shared appreciation and did create some problems. The programs of today have no shared appreciation, you always retain the title to your home, and the title to your property goes to your heirs just as it would if you didn’t have a reverse mortgage. Reverse mortgages have been made a safe and viable retirement tool in that you or your heirs can never owe more than your property is worth regardless of how long you own the property, how much cash you take from it or what property values do in the future.
4. How does the Reverse Mortgage compare to a Conventional Mortgage ? In comparison to a conventional forward mortgage, you make monthly payments to the bank eventually paying off the mortgage over time. On a Reverse Mortgage the bank allows you to tap into that equity allowing you to supplement retirement in either monthly payments for life, a credit line that grows with your age, or even a combination of both. Or with some programs, you can use a reverse mortgage to purchase that dream retirement home with no payments for life! You can use this money for any purpose and it’s non-taxable and does not affect Social Security payments. We do recommend that you talk to a competent financial advisor to determine the affect on any other benefits you may be receiving.
