Many homeowners have found that a reverse mortgage is a great way for them to take advantage of the equity they have built up in their homes.

A reverse mortgage is different than a traditional mortgage. With a traditional mortgage you make monthly mortgage payments, but with a reverse mortgage the lenders pays you money through monthly installments or a one-time lump sum payment. The money that you receive is dependant on your age and the value of your home.

One of the great advantages of a reverse mortgage is that you are not required to pay the loan back until the home is no longer your primary residence For more information on when a reverse mortgage comes due click here. Another great feature of a reverse mortgage is you can never owe more than the value of your home. No matter what.

Dallas Reverse Mortgage Tip:

If you have already taken cash out (Texas A6) you can still do a reverse mortgage with our company as long as the other standard qualifications are met!

If the borrower chooses not to make a monthly payment, then the interest will be added to the loan and the payoff will increase.

The following "ends" a reverse mortgage and thus the funds have to be paid back:    
    a. the home is no longer a primary residence, or the borrower sells the home.
    b. the last borrower living in the home passes away. The estate then has 1 year to sell the home, refinance the home, or simply payoff the reverse.

A borrower who receives a reverse mortgage is still responsible for their insurance and property taxes.

Even though there isn't a required monthly payment on a reverse mortgage, with our product, you can still make one. You can pay as much or as little (or nothing at all) as you desire.

Not all reverse mortgage companies are the same, they don't all have access to the same products

A reverse mortgage is not credit driven or income driven, so even if you have low income or bad credit it doesn't change the approval process.
 

As people get older, some of their bills (home repair, medical expenses, etc.) increase while at the same time their income decreases so a reverse can help even out your debt to income ratio .

4 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF...

What is a Reverse Mortgage?

A reverse mortgage is a loan designed to allow seniors to draw upon the equity in their homes either by a lump sum payment or by monthly installments thus providing income even after retirement. The reason this type of mortgage is called a “reverse mortgage” is because the money goes directly to the home owner instead of into paying for the home.

Eventually the money paid to the homeowner is repaid with interest, however it generally doesn’t become due until the homeowner leaves the home due to death, move, etc.

What is the difference between a regular mortgage and a Reverse Mortgage?

There really aren't that many differences. The biggest difference is that a reverse is easier to qualify for because income and credit don't affect the approval process. The other main difference is THE BORROWER GETS TO CHOOSE THEIR MONTHLY PAYMENTS or none if they don't want to pay at all! HOW ABOUT THAT FOR A CHOICE!
