Welcome Ronald.
I feel you can get the lump some of 60,000 dollars as reverse mortgage if you have enough equity in your property.
As far as I understand you are willing to get a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage which is offered by FHA. For this one you need to have the insurance. According to the insurance guideline you can never get more than the wrath of your property.
Hope this helps.
Let me know if you have any further questions. _________________ Good is the Enemy of Great. |

| Hi Experts! I am wondering whether foreclosure in reverse mortgage is possible or not. Can I do short sale or deed in lieu to avoid foreclosure in reverse mortgage? |

Hi Lisa.
Welcome to the forum.
I think foreclosure is not possible in a normal reverse mortgage as there is no monthly payments to be made. The heirs can pay off the loan if they want to inherit the property. So there is no question of DIL or Short sale.
Feel free to ask if you have any further questions.
Best of Luck,
Larry |

| What if I do not have much equity. Home is worth aprox $225 and we owe $195,000. What if we do not want to take any cash out, simply get the reverse mortgage and make small payments. Is this possible? |

Hello.
you cannot get a reverse mortgage more than the amount of home equity that you have. You have $30,000 as your home equity and how much do you want to take out reverse mortgage? |

You will not qualify for a reverse mortgage. A reverse needs more equity as your payment is rolled into the loan for the remainder of your life. The bank usually wanst to see 50-60 percent in equity before they will do the loan as they do not want to pay out more than the value of the home.

It isnt the house alone it is how much you owe vs what the home is worth.
If your home is worth 1,000,000 you better not owe more than 350,000 to 400,000

Hi guest,
You need to have sufficient equity in your home in order to get a reverse mortgage. How much has home prices reduced in your area? It will depend upon the lender as to whether he'll agree to offer you a loan at the equity you have.

Yes you can however it will require a significant down payment of 50-60%
The home has to be able to "pay for itself" it is not just a way to live payment free.

| My parents need money they are 66 and 76...they own their home valued at 600000, they have a home equity loan of 50000, they have credit card debt of 150,000, they need to pay this off and live as well... Would a reverse mortgage allow them to pay a consolidated debt payoff and give them supplemental cash monthly to live , or would it be better off for me to buy the house at a lower price from them say 400000, and the bank would pay them the full amount. |

I think taking a reverse mortgage will be a good option for your parents. As far as I know, a reverse mortgage will help them in paying both the home equity loan as well as the credit card debts.
