Post     Post subject: Reverse Mortgage

I have a approx. 1550 sq.ft with 3 bedroom townhome here in Richmond, Va. I would say the property valuse is about 185K and I owe 162K. I will soon be turning 63 and I have NO family. I know most reverse mortgages like to have more equity in the house, however if there a possible way of being about to get a reverse mortgage with this amount of equity? If so, where? If not, how much more would I need to have in the townhouse so I can apply for a Reverse Mortgage? Also, I have no 2nd Mortgage on the house.

>>Is there any length of time you must have lived in a primary residence to quality for a reverse mortgage?

There didn't used to be, but now there is - it depends on how the house was obtained. If you got it via an Investor that's flipping homes, you'll need 12 months seasoning. Each scenario under 12 months should be reviewed with your Loan Officer to determine if there are seasoning requirements. If it was a standard traditional sale, most Lenders won't impose a seasoning requirement.

>>he is working in a another state but lives in our home 195 days out of the year would we still be able to do a reverse

Yes. The homeowner must occupy the home at least 183 days per year.

>>I am 64 and my husband is 80, We own are home. It is paid for in full and it's value is 200,000.00. Do you know what kind of money we would qualify for.

Approximately $99,214.00

>>if, at the time we leave due to illness or death, the property will not sell at all - or will not sell for what the mortgage balance is at the time - due to the decreasing value of real estate - and there is not enough money in the estate to pay it off - what happens then?

The Lender will foreclose on the house. If the lender is negative (the house sold for less then what was owed on the Reverse Mortgage) neither the homeowner or the heirs are responsible for the negative amount.

>>I am 71 years of age and my wife is 67. Our home is worth about $600,000.00 We owe $324,000.00.
Are we eligible for a reverse mortgage?

Yes. The Reverse Mortgage will pay off your existing mortgage, includes all loan fees, and leave you with cash out of approximately $8,322.00

>>we live on a farm of 20 acres, zoned residential, we do our taxes as a family farm, we board some horses, does our resident qualify for a reverse mortgage

Only if the farm isn’t used to generate income.

>>I'm 65 my husband just turned 62 and still works. Will We still qualify for a reverse mortgage?

Yes

>>I heard if you are disabled you can get a reverse home mortgage. Is this true?

Yes, but you still need to be at least 62

>>I'm 63. We owe 157,000 on a 400,000 home. Can we get a reverse mortgage?

Yes, the Reverse Mortgage will pay off your existing mortgage, includes all loan fees, and leave you with cash out of approximately $48,241.00

Post     Post subject: Need to save my house until I sell another one

I borrowed against my house to buy one a family member was to pay off. It hasn't happened and I need to keep up loan payments on my house until I can sell the second house I don't want. I don't want to lose my car and my house and a piece of land I'm willing to sell to pay most of the loans. I owe Credit card bills because of the money I've put into making loan payments. I owe taxes, my IRA is gone and I am soooo screwed. Can I borrow against the equity in my house to keep things going until I can sell the second house and the property? My daughter won't need or want my house.

I am 66 and on social security.

Hi Mary,

You can borrow against your property as long as there's equity in it and you qualify for the loan. But the fact that you have too much of debt obligations can influence your chances of getting the loan. If you have too much of debts and you're finding it difficult to make the payments, lenders would to want to offer you loan. Do you mean to take a reverse mortgage? Well, that is a possibility. If there's enough equity in the home and property meets the required criteria, you can surely look for a reverse mortgage and pay off your existing debt obligations.

That's kinda complicated right now because it's changing, and nobody is really of how it works entirely. Mortgage Letter 2009-19 was released on June 12, 2009, and it's titled "Condominium Approval Process - Single Family Housing". It's comprehensive and seems to leave questions unanswered, so the only thing I know for sure is "if the condomium project is FHA-approved, you have no worries - you can get a Reverse Mortgage". But if it's not FHA-approved, that Mortgagee Letter comes into effect - and each case will be reviewed on an individual basis. It could take awhile.
