Reverse Mortgages Lenders

Shannon Said:

Reverse Annuity Mortgage?

We Answered:

Every reverse mortgage I have seen has been an FHA program for older people and they normally choose to get all the money in one chunk. They are set up so that the owner never has to make a payment as long as they live in the house- but if they go to a retirement home they will need to sell the house and (because of the interest build up and maybe the weak real estate market) the seller might owe more than the house is worth. Again this FHA program is pretty good because it is a non recourse loan so that all the lender can do is take the house - they can't file against you personally.
