You qualify if you're 62 or older, and the house is an eligible property type that's your primary residence. Homeowners without a monthly payment benefit more then homeowners who have a monthly payment.

You can see how one works for you at www.ReverseMortgageCalculator.org. Call me at 949-400-1729 if you have any questions.

if you have money in an annuity that you receive quarterly to live on, does that interefere with getting a reverse mortgage? my home needs improvements, if I touch the annuity fund for these improvements I'll have nothing left. Also, how do I decide which company is safe to deal business with?

No

Interview several experienced Loan Officers that only do Reverse Mortgages, and select the one you're the most comfortable with. And feel free to ask them for 3 references too.

It depends on your age and the State you live in. California doesn't have mortgage taxes, so I'll use that State in our example. If you're 72 and owe 43,000 on a home that's valued at 90,000, the Reverse Mortgage will provide you with $2,405.00 in cash, after paying off your existing mortgage and loan fees. The primary benefit you'd receive is elimination of your monthly mortgage payment.

How much does your Grandmother owe on her mortgage? You can try my calculator at www.ReverseMortgageCalculator.org to see how a FHA-insured Reverse Mortgage would work for her, but you'll need to know how much she owes on her mortgage first.

Have read various articles on qualifications for reverse mortgage on mfg homes - and comments about needing to own land. I do not own land, but have a 95 of 1800 SF I own outright in Oregon - is there ANY source, be it banking, state, fed., or low income program? I am LOW income - and in OR.

Hi anon,

As you don't own the land, it will difficult for you to qualify for a reverse mortgage on a manufactured home. Moreover, most lenders are not ready to offer a reverse mortgage on a manufactured home. Nevertheless, you should contact the local lenders of your area in order to check out whether or not they can help you with a mortgage.

Thanks,

Jerry

You must either own the loan, have a life estate, or have a long term lease, to get an FHA-insured Reverse Mortgage.

All the Lenders I work with offer Reverse Mortgages with Manufactured Homes, as long as they qualify, per HUD's guidelines.

I would like to retire with a reverse mortgage in WI, while my husband continues working in Oregon. Can I make WI my primary residence for purposes of the reverse mortgage if I live there over half the year, while my husband still works in Oregon? I assume we would have to file separately with IRS?
Thank you,
Stephanie

If you stay in the property for most part of the year, then you will be able to claim it as your primary residence. In that case, you'll be able to get a reverse mortgage on it. However, you should be 62 years old in order to get a reverse mortgage.

You must reside in your house for at least 183 days per year in order for it to be considered your primary property (that's one day over 6 months). If you do, you can get the Reverse Mortgage.

Post     Post subject: REVERSE MORRTGAGE FOR A CONDO

Hello ~ I'm getting ready to retire. My husband is 69. In two years I will be 62.
My husband is under the impression that, when i ready 62 - or anytime thereafter - we would be able to get a reverse mortgage. We live in a condo in the SF Bay area. Our condo is worth 409,000 at the moment Sad We owe 150,000. It is our only residence. Can a person get a reverse mortgage on a condo?
Thanks for your replies.
