My mother in law recently applied for a reverse mortgage and was turned down under the basis "Unacceptable Property". They are stating that the property is located within a high tower fall zone. They purchased the property with that high tower in existence, they refinanced their property with that high tower in existence. I do not understand why she is not able to utilize the reverse mortgage product. Any input and guidance would be appreciated.
It may be that particular bank that has a problem with it. Does her current insurance company cover any loss related to that tower?
