a reverse mortgage is money that goes to YOU every mo for
20 or more often 30 yrs. IT is repaid in a lump sum at the end
of the note.

U have to move out--you did not say why. Actually, it does not
matter. It does not matter who lives in the liened home.

u can use the reverse mortgage cash for ANY purpose.

naturally, the lender will foreclose on the house-he is not giving
away money; the house is his collateral. But remember, that
note is not due for years; unless u have a very unusual one
that has a due date in less than 15 yrs.

Reverse mortgage - Line of Credit?

I understand you can opt for payments, lump sum, line of credit, etc.
If you take a lump sum or set up a line of credit can creditor's attach your line of credit?


Creditors cannot attach to your line of credit, but they can place a judgement on the title to your property which will prevent you from obtaining a line of credit.

PS - I'm not a big fan of reverse mortgages. They are costly to get into and the interest rates are pretty high. But they do have their place in the market. They're mostly considered to be a hardship loan. Please research all options before taking a reverse mortgage and by all means find a reputable lender in your area.

How much equity does someone have to have in their home in order to qualify for a reverse mortgage?

My elderly family member owns a home (paid it off years ago) but now has a line of credit against the house for 100K. I am concerned that this member of my family is running out of money and will need a reverse mortgage in the next year or two as they will require an in home health care worker. I would guesstimate the value of the home to be 275K to 300K right now. Does anyone know if a reverse mortgage would be possible for her?

Things You Need to Know About Reverse Mortgages

A reverse mortgage (lifetime mortgage) is a loan available to seniors that lets you convert a portion of the home equity in to cash as one lump sum or multiple payments. The equity that built up over years of home mortgage payments can be paid to you. The homeowner’s obligation to repay the loan is deferred until the owner dies, the home is sold, or the owner leaves.

The lender cannot take your home away from you, if you outlive the life of the loan. You do not need to repay the loan as long as you or one of the borrowers continues to live in the house, and keeps property taxes and insurance current. You can never owe more than the value of your home at the time you or your heirs sell the home.
