The amount of the reverse mortgage they can qualify for is determined by the youngest borrowers date of birth, the zip code and the home's value. Typically a reverse mortgage needs about 40% equity to be an option. They should speak with a loan officer who does reverse mortgages on how much would be needed in order for them to obtain a reverse mortgage, the calculation isn't a tough one but the software & the above 3 pieces of info is needed.

Yes, purchasing a home is a feature that most reverse mortgage lenders have.

You didn't say the exact age of your parents, so I'm going to assume they're both 85 and born on 10/10/1924.

They can purchase a $89,000.00 home for $32,836.37 with a fixed interest rate of 5.56% - and never have a monthly mortgage payment.

You mentioned they make $20,000.00 per year, but income isn't considered when getting a Reverse Mortgage, so we don't have to worry about their income. Credit, assets and employment aren't considerations either.
