We’ve all heard good and bad about the reverse mortgage market, so today I went to a class given by Dirk Pierce with Retirement Funding Solutions at the OC Register building to find out more information. Knowledge is power, right?! Plus it’s not fair to form an opinion about something until the proper research and due diligence is done.
What is a Reverse Mortgage?
Basically, a reverse mortgage lets homeowners convert a portion of the equity in their homes into cash, and eliminate their monthly mortgage payments.
Interestingly enough, Reverse Mortgages are over 100 years old, and they are also available in Britain, Chile, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and Korea. They were designed to help people who where house rich and cash poor, and were also known as ‘shared equity’. Fast forward to 1989, and Ronald Reagan helped to create the first government regulated Reverse Mortgage plans under the FHA umbrella.
Another variation of a reverse mortgage is HECM for Purchase; both share similiar features:
- Both are FHA
- Neither have monthly payment requirements
- Both offer adjustable or fixed rates
You’ll use HECM for purchase when you are planning to buy a new property, for example to downsize, etc. Reverse Mortgage is when you stay in your existing home, and simply refinance.
HECM for purchase is an FHA loan that enables a person age 62+ to purchase a home with as little as 40% to 51% down and never make monthly mortgage payments. So basically you can get a 500K home for 250K and never make payments if you meet the age requirements. BUT….interest still accrues on your mortgage balance. The nice thing about the programs is they come with the following protections:
- Guarantee that FHA will honor the terms of the loan if the lender becomes insolvent
- Guarantee that you would never owe more than the house was worth
- Guarantee that there is no personal liability for repayment of the loan by you or your heirs. It is truly a non-recourse loan.
- Guarantees that the loan won’t become due until the last remaining borrower leaves the home.
Frequently there is remaining equity in the home…what happens with that? After the home is sold, any remaining equity goes to the heirs.
Do you qualify for a reverse mortgage?
- minimal credit requirements
- minimal debt to income ratios
What types of properties are allowed?
- single family
- PUD
- 1-4 unit property
- FHA approved condo
- new construction
- NOT second homes or investment properties, sorry!
More reverse mortgage facts:
- Only YOUR name is on the title, so don’t believe the rumors that the bank is on title.
- The loan becomes due when the last remaining borrower leaves the home.
- You can sell whenever you want to, and they do not have a prepayment penalty.
- Family has up to a year to either refinance your property with a normal mortgage or sell it before the loan is officially due.
Reverse Mortgages are all age based, so contact Dirk today if you’d like a chart to see what your down payment would be at your age. Want to learn more? Register for his class at http://www.OCHomeFair.com on Jan 30th, 2016.
