Hi Sandra,

Sorry hear about your disability. But I am afraid the reverse mortgage programs are for seniors aged 62 or more only.

Hi Sandra,

I too agree with Finleon that only if you were 62 or more, you would have qualified for a reverse mortgage.

If you want some more information on reverse mortgage loans then you can go through this article.

Thanks
James

It depends on the lender. With FHA-insured programs the answer is "no". However, a proprietary Reverse Mortgage may reduce the age. The lowest I've seen is age 60. Unfortuantely, there aren't any proprietary programs available today ... they all went away because of the mortgage crisis. But they'll be back again in the future, and when they come back we'll be able to offer Reverse Mortgages for folks under 62 again.

To qualify for a reverse mortgage as mentioned above, the borrower must be at least 62 years of age and should have little or no outstanding mortgage balances. The equity available is based on the homeowner age and the value of the home.

>>Can I get a reverse mort.

No. HUD is inflexible in that area, and everybody on Title must be at least 62.

I've never heard of that form before - is it a goverment form? Can you share it with us? If it's a HUD form, the reference number of the form will be listed in the lower right corner. Or you can point us to the website you visited.

Does the form say the Secretary can decide on the age for an individual, or for the entire program?

It says if near the age of retirement,you (individual)might be eligable,as the "secretary will decide if your age is close enough. I became disabled with a broken back in 1991,I turned 59 on 9/5/10.So its an indiviual thing not a group/program rule.I'll have to researh the site,then send it to you.Thanks , Junior
