A Reverse Mortgage is possible if you have a 99 year lease that's renewable, and your Manufactured Home was built after June 15, 1976.

Can you tell me if a person is eligible to obtain a reverse mortgage if they have been convicted of a felony in the past number of years? And if yes or no where can I find verification of the fact that they can or cannot obtain one of these loans? I really need to know. Thank you.

Yes. The only qualifiers are age, type of residence, and it has to be the primary residence. Nobody cares if they've been convicted of a felony.

Post     Post subject: Age Criteria

What if the applicant (home owner who has equity) is less than 62 years old, can they still apply for the reverse mortgage? If the age criterion is strictly enforced, is there a comparable program to apply for so that the home owner can get cash out of their home (e.g., a HELOC)?

They can apply when they're 61, but can't sign the final loan documents until they're 62.

>>is there a comparable program to apply for

No, there isn't any other mortgage that's comparable to a Reverse Mortgage.

>>so that the home owner can get cash out of their home (e.g., a HELOC)?

They can certainly apply for a HELOC, but they're going to have to qualify for the loan based upon their Income, Assets, Employment and Credit, and they'll also be a monthly mortgage payment. None of those are requirements for a Reverse Mortgage.

Do I have to borrow a minimum amount? Can it be $20,000 and no more?

You can borrow $20,000 and keep the rest in the Credit Line. And the Credit Line grows. Right now the growth rate is around 3.5%. That means if you put $100,000.00 of equity in the credit line, a year from now you'd have approximately $103,500.00. That's an additional $3,500.00 of equity you're able to convert into cash.

You didn't mention the State you're living in, and that'd help because some States have different fees then others, so I'm going to assume you live in California and your birthdate is 2/28/1938.

You'd receive approximately $39,309.00 with a fixed interest rate of 5.56%

My mother is interested in a reverse mortgage loan. She owns her home free and clear, valued at about $200,000 and wants to pay off some credit card debt. I'm worried that she'll go through the money too quickly and will have nothing to fall back on later. She is 65. I think that she is too young to go this route and will jeopardize her financial future and the possibility that she might need the money later.

Your mother can opt for monthly cash advances from the lender. She will receive monthly payments in place of a lump sum amount at one go. Thus, she won't be able to use off the money quickly and will also have some amount to fall back upon.

That's a valid concern and will probably happen if she hasn't displayed financial discipline in the past. I've had lots of clients take out enough cash at funding to dliminate their credit card debt, and the rest of the cash was put into the Credit Line, for growth. But she'll have easy access to the Credit Line, and can deplete it if she's not prudent.
