Post subject: Looking for a reverse mortgage for my double wide. |
|
|
I have a double wide that sites on 2 acres of land in Western Montana. I have put a porch on two side of the house and a standard pitched roof, so it now looks like a stick build home. I plan on building two more rooms to it. I owe approx. $29,000 on it. I owe approx. $14,000 in credit card debt. I'll looking to get a new transmission for my car, that will be $4000 plus the instalation and want to add two new rooms on my house..one being a large bathroom that I've already build the foundation and a new living room with high cellings to hang my big game mounts.. Is that all possible with a reverse mortage. and what kind of interest rate can I expect. I am retired and 69 years old.
Can I be helped.????????? |

Post subject: reverse mort. for parents |
|
|
| Nine years ago, parents were able to purchase a townhouse in Miami thanks to a government program which subsidized a greater part of the mortgage for ten as long as they occupy the residence. At the end of the ten years my parents will be left with just their small affordable mortgage and the government pays their portion in full. My question is whether they have to wait until the ten years are yp to apply for a reverse mortgage. My father is 70 years old and working fullt-time until a recent injury rendered him unable to work at all. A few months later, my mom, 59, was taken ill and also cannot work due to her condition which will take at least a year to resolve, Lord willing. Thank you. Vida |

Hi Vida,
Your father can go for a reverse mortgage program even if his previous mortgage is pending. He can utilize the first installment to repay the unpaid loan.

Hi Vida,
Welcome to MortgageFit Forums.
I wish your mother to get well soon. Lord will definitely help her to recover.
Your parents can still qualify for a reverse mortgage if they own a primary residence and have a low balance on the previous mortgage.
But one thing I would like to mention here that if the property is both in the name of your father and mom, then both of them needs to be 62 and above.
If the house is in your father's name, then he can qualify for the program now. Even if the property is in joint name, if your mom can quit claim her interest in the residence to your father, then he can quialify for reverse mortgage on his own.
In any case I don't see any problem to it. They can go ahead with their plan.
Feel free to ask if you have any more queries.
God bless you.
For MortgageFit,
Samantha

Hi,
Welcome to MortgageFit Forums.
It's sad news to hear about your father. I can understand the situation of your family. I pray god to give you strength to withstand this situation.
It will be too early to suggest you anything without knowing more about your financial detail. Was your father the only earning member? Is there any other source of income?
I believe you mentioned the age with a hope to know if she qualifies for the reverse mortgage program, but I am sorry to say that she has to attain a age 62 and above to get a reverse mortgage.
You can let us know what exactly you want for us to do so that we can suggest you in a better manner.
We will be happy if we can suggest something helpful for you and your mother.
God bless you.
For MortgageFit,
Samantha

Hi Dagmer,
To qualify for a HECM loan, the homeowners must be at least 62 years of age and the condominium has to be their principal residence.
The amount of equity that you can borrow depends on where you live and the prevailing interest rates.

Dagmer,
The Condominiums has to FHA approved to get a FHA insured reverse mortgage. The home must be in a reasonable condition and should be able to meet the HUD minimum property standards. |

Hi Dagmer,
You can qualify for a HUD's reverse mortgage program if you are 62 and above. The condominium should be your principal residence. It has to be a single family residence or a one-to-four unit dwelling with one unit occupied by the borrower.
The condominium must be FHA approved and should meet the FHA minimum property standards.
Hope this helps.

Hi Jean,
Welcome to MortgageFit Forums.
There is every possibility that you can still qualify for a reverse mortgage. If the mortgage balance is low then you can qualify easily for a reverse mortgage program.
You may use the proceeds from the first installment from the reverse mortgage loan to pay off the outstanding balance.
So, don't get worried only because you have an existing mortgage. Talk to the lenders/brokers to find out how they can help you under this condition.
Feel free to ask if you have any more queries. We will be happy to help you.
God bless you.
For MortgageFit,
Samantha

Hi,
As far as in know you can get a reverse mortgage even if you already have a mortgage. After getting a reverse mortgage you should use the first installment to pay off the outstanding debts.
Thanks,
Jerry |
