Reverse Mortgages
Continued... Qualifying is simple:
- Borrowers need to be at
least 62 years of age
- Own their home, and live
in the home as their primary residence
- No income qualifications
- No credit qualifications
or minimum credit score
- Existing 1st or 2nd
mortgage balance is acceptable
The amount of money that a
borrower acquires from the reverse mortgage depends upon the age of
the borrowers, current interest rates, and the value of their home.
The older the borrower and
the higher the amount of equity in the home will result in higher
amounts of money that the owners are eligible to receive.
The proceeds of the Reverse
Mortgage are paid "Tax Free"
These funds can be paid out in a variety of ways, depending
on the requirements of the borrower. For instance, funds can be paid
out in:

- Line Of Credit - with
growth
