Reverse mortgage - an excellent financial solution for seniors

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

I would like to talk more on reverse mortgage as I find that there are many readers interest in this topic. Reverse mortgages are becoming popular among seniors over age 62 because of certain advantages it offers in certain situations. A reverse mortgage is a loan that is not paid back until the last mortgage holder dies, or the home is left unoccupied for more than 1 year, or it is sold. A fixed rate reverse mortgage offers the possibility to receive money in several ways, most popular being the equity line of credit, where you only borrow money as you need it. It’s also possible to receive a large sum of money at once or a monthly payment, much like a pension. A combination of the above variants is also possible, and the amount of money involved depends on age and value of your home.

Before going for this kind of loan you should consider the pros and cons of reverse mortgage. Depending of certain variables, you could only have access to 60% or less of your home equity, and fees could be very high depending on the provider. Reverse mortgage was created with the intention to help seniors with a very limited income to remain in their home for the rest of their life and stay out of poverty. It wouldn’t be advisable to be used if money from other investments is available, and it should be regarded as the last resort.

Unfortunately reverse mortgage providers have a different approach, and they tend to tempt every middle class senior to live beyond their means by showing this kind of loan as a possibility to afford things that are not essential for them, instead of leaving this money available when they should really need it. To have a more accurate result, you may wish to use a reverse mortgage calculator to assist you in calculation.

Reverse mortgage offers seniors over age 62 that need more financial freedom the possibility to access certain founds in different forms, either a one-time larger sum, a monthly income or a credit line. A combination of these methods is also possible. Basically a reverse mortgage is a loan where the money is paid back when the last mortgage holder dies. There are other cases where the loan becomes due, like when the lender leaves the house unoccupied for more than 1 year.

Reverse mortgages can have either fixed or variable rates, although practically most reverse mortgage rates are variable, linked to the variable US Treasury rate. With variable rates a lower rate is calculated at the beginning, after that the rates are adjusted every year, every six months or monthly. You can easily use a reverse mortgage calculator to do that. When you choose to go for a fixed rate reverse mortgage the bank will calculate a higher rate from the beginning to ensure they will have no loss in case of future rise of interest rates. This is usually the case when the borrower opts for a full draw of the funds available to them. If you think the entire process is troublesome, you may seek professional reverse mortgage counseling.

So depending on the situation, a reverse mortgage could offer either the possibility of a periodical income for the cash-strapped senior or access to larger sum of money needed for some unexpected reason.
