Ok what if your home is not paid off, can you still get a reverse mortgage? Could you please direct me to details on that? Thanks

I know a reverse mortgage is based on a lot of factors including age and life expectancy. Does the reverse mortgage expire in the event I live another 5-10 years and all the equity is depleted?

[@KeepMeLord05]

I have never seen anything as complicated as it regards home insurance claims holding a reverse mortgage. Since July 2023 I have tried desperately to help my Aunts get the INS money for repairs after a neighbor's tree destroyed it during a storm. First, the insurance company drug their feet paying the claim then it was required that the checks be sent to Hud for endorsement. Now hud is keeping the the INS money until repairs are made. Two elderly women and a not-so-smart niece (me) are fighting a losing battle. Now it's December 2023 and they're still living in a hazardous situation. Please reconsider attaining a Reverse Mortgage there are so many unknown pitfalls that at the surface can't be seen until a disaster occurs. Good Luck

Sounds like basic finance to me. You have an asset, we have a way to take it.

The subject of reverse mortgages always seems to get a "knee jerk" bad idea reaction from a lot of people. I don't need one myself but for some people I could see where it might not be such a terrible idea. Don't take the money all at once (that's how you got into financial trouble in the first place, spending too much) & realize that you will not be leaving your house as someone's inheritance.

[@marknewton6984]

Works for some people.

[@119Agent]

That last part isn’t often true. In most cases when the home owner passes away there is equity on the home after the mortgage is paid off. That is because the entire value of the home is not available to take out in a mortgage and it typically grows in value after the mortgage is taken out.

[@genebaker6964]

@@119Agent They do have higher (much higher) foreclosure rates than a normal mortgage.

[@119Agent]

There are persons posting videos on Reverse Loans mortgages. They make it seem like your gonna be in a debt hole. There's nothing wrong with getting a reverse loan. As long as you pay your taxes and home insurance and maintenance. You can move out and sell your house as long as you pay back what you owe and the rest of money is yours.

[@kevinstancil4055]

I agree this is a very hot topic! We’ve been thinking about the numbers this year

[@richard-fy2mu]

Big question how the front costs are handled and do they deduct from line of credit or get pushed to end.

[@SecureYourRetirement]

pushed to the end.

[@VictoryReverseMortgage]

Just like a forward mortgage, all costs are included as a calculation of the “over all” fees and charges that have to be paid. Ex - if the reverse mortgage costs are $10,000, and the senior is approved for a $100,000 line of credit on a home that was “free and clear” the $10,000. Fees is their “initial starting balance”. The remaining $90.000. Will be in the established line of credit and will increase over time . Once used, any amount of the line of credit that is used, will then be added to the “existing current balance side”, ie, the initial $10,000 (plus interest) of the original balance.

[@danaoliver6766]

Maybe you could have the topic on the masses of senior citizens who have no retirement saving and can't sell their home and move into a 55+ community. Because of health reasons their homes are now up for foreclosure and they have a reverse mortgages.

[@marknewton6984]

They can still sell.

[@flipdiva0007]

There is no reason in this RE market that a senior can't sell their home.

[@Luigi13]

One thing for sure that I see is: Interest exists it is not gone, except it is not required to pay monthly either the loan or interest. But as a traditional mortgage you lock in to an interest percentage which accrues as time passes and it is awaiting you sometime down the line. Yes you can stay in your home or condo but the interest isn't gone anywhere until you pay off the loan whether you sell the home or pay the loan. It is just that it relaxes you from paying monthly obligations each month. So a reverse mortgage isn't interest free. Right?

[@SecureYourRetirement]

no it’s not interest free

[@VictoryReverseMortgage]

Regardless of the nature of the mortgage, reverse or traditional, a bank makes interest on the money they lend ! With a traditional mortgage, it is built-in to the mortgage with each payment, over the 15 or 30 year. With the reverse mortgage, the interest is also added to the outstanding principal/loan balance. The difference may be that the senior may not live in the home for 15 or 30 years because of their starting age, when they get the reverse mortgage. So in actuality, a reverse mortgage may last substantially lower in time than a traditional 30 year mortgage. The key function of the reverse mortgage, serves to help the senior to free up monthly cash flow to help them pay for other necessary expenses.

[@edelweiss4314]

Heck, it is not interest free. Indeed it is 3 % higher than regular mortgage interest rate.

Great video, very informative. My question is regarding the accrued interest portion.In your example of a $500k house all paid for with a $275 reverse mortgage and a $500/month annuity type payment, does the interest accrue on the whole $275k eventhough I am not using it or does it accrue on the monthly payments I am receiving every month? thanks

[@redbully004]

What about if there still a balance on the home (not paid off)? When the borrowers pass away and the heirs want to keep the property, what would be owed to keep the property? Paying the house off at the current market value of the home at the time of the borrowers death? Or pay off the balance and the equity line of credit the company gave the borrowers? What circumstances is a reverse mortgage not a good option?

[@SecureYourRetirement]

The heirs still can inherit the home they would just be responsible for any debt. If they sold the home they will get the remaining equity.

How much more is the interest rate for a reverse mortgage as opposed to a regular mortgage? As of this writing (May 2024) the lowest rate I see is just south of 9%.APR.

[@Balbuuuu]

What would happen if the heir doesn’t want to sell? Are they required to pay off the loan or are they obligated to sell the property in order to pay off the loan?

They can pay off the loan as they would need to do with any loan. They could refinance also.

[@Balbuuuu]

@@SecureYourRetirement can they refinance even if they don't meet the age requirement?

[@deborahhenderson5219]

Yes they are required to pay off the loan plus interest of course. The lender just wants their money how ever they can get it....by family either selling the house to get the money or acquire it a different way....no one cares, just so lender gets paid back. What I'm curious about is the fact that I hear there is ONLY A 30 DAY PERIOD OF TIME ALLOWED,?? WHAT? That's not very long if one HAS to sell to pay back....not good

[@rosegolden4093]

What reasons would you be denied a reverse mortgage other than age

[@nickburak7518]

At around 14:55 the question was put regarding how it looks like at the time the mortgage must be paid out. The answer involved an equal comparison of 3% mortgage rate to a 3% real estate value (annual) appreciation. So, at payout, the authority here said that they are at "about the same rate ... the home value will outpace the loan balance growth." I'd like help to understand that. As I understand it, these so-called "similar" rates are not the same thing. Houses appreciate according to real estate inflation rates, while mortgage interest accrues at a compounded rates. Are these the same even if the rate is the "same"? Do reverse mortgages (RM) not also involve compound interest, just like normal mortgages? If so, then is not the comparison - albeit simplified - not misleading? Does this calculation regard the RM percentage of the value of the house (IE. if the RM is maxed out VS. a small RM)? Also, I understand that an RM uses a higher interest rate than a conventional mortgage, so should that not be included as part of the answer - especially for neophytes (since we are easily influenced and least likely to think and research)? I mention this because I am not well versed on the topic, so I don't want to be easily influenced that a reverse mortgage is more of a "good" thing (costing less than the offset of an ever-increasing house value) when sometimes it might not be. Lastly, this brings me to the last question, which is really the crux of this comment. I notice that most of the videos on this subject matter are by experts in the field who stand to gain by the sales of the product, so I am naturally suspect that conflict of interest could be at play. I think this is exactly why famous actors are hired to "sell" the product. I trust marketing as much as I trust a rattlesnake in my bed. As was not the case when this video was originally posted, the world is now experiencing significant inflation, and this is the least of it. House valuations are reversing. If we take such industry gurus to heart (eg Michael Barry, Ray Dalio, Berkshire Hathaway, etc.), things are at a cliff edge, despite what so-called experts are saying (that real estate will always climb). So the final question is this: How do RM's look now - generally speaking - during a global economic downturn when interest rates and inflation are on this rise (consider the 80's compounded mortgage rates), more than a standard local recession, without taking into consideration all "well, it depends" details like how old the owner/occupant is, whether the mortgage is paid free and clear, etc? Thank you.

[@wheelie642]

The devil is in the details. Most videos on the subject miss the mark on some important details. Getting a RM will swallow up your equity you could use to buy a trailer home etc etc. Getting aRM at 65 years old is asking for trouble. As well as 75 in my opinion. I would suggest RMs are best but for 80 plus year olds that are nearing end of life. Suppose you eliminate your mortgage but money is still tight. That’s not a good scenario either. Make decisions that will make life comfortable, not worrisome. If you have to downsize do it. Or rent a room in someone’s house as a last resort. Never loan your money to anyone. Not even $100. If I eliminate my mortgage today my total monthly costs only drops 20% I have high taxes, high energy costs, food, insurance, entertainment, gasoline, car repairs, home consumer goods, personal product costs, landscaping, Etc etc. Assess your financial life completely before jumping into a RM.

just about when you get to 62 you find yourself in a sea of sharks. Pros and Cons abound. Keep in mind compound interest in a RM is a b!tch and then you die. Almost all seniors face this situation; equity is there in the home (hopefully) but how to access it without screwing yourself for good is the problem. Leaving to heirs seems like a bad idea. Use it now the cash you worked for. Real outflow of $$ might happen in your last 5 years of life, if one last that long.

How much debt service exactly?? What kind of interest might a person expect at the end of 15 years? Can you make some numbers and give us an example of paying off a RM loan> Cost? Is it reasonable amount or is it ridiculous interest like a first mortgage. On a first mortgage the bank can lend me 700K at 6.99% for 30 years. 6.99% and wouldn't that be nice. let me explain Imagine the bank lends me 700K and I can just pay them back the principle and 6.99% interest. Well most consumer are not bankers and don't have a full understanding of interest. For example a 700K loan plus 6.99% interest is approximately $749,000 in the mind of an uneducated consumer. In reality it's not 6.99% interest on 700K, it's 6.99% per YEAR on remaining balance! Soto recap in reality we look at the amortization which is 1.5 million dollars. That's 120% interest!!!! NOT 6.99% So In reality the loan cost me 120% interest! not 6.99% I won't forget of course how wonderful and nice the bank is to give me plenty of time ( 30 years) to pay them 120% INTEREST So, with this in mind, what kind of interest are we looking at after 15 years for example of a RM. People like me want to know the true cost of the interest and how that works comparatively from a first mortgage. The upfront costs like closing costs are but a minor inconvenience. It's the pay back of the loan to the bank which interests me because I may sell before i die. If I want to consider a RM I would like to know the overall costs, not simply the process of buying back the home and knowing that I have the option.. Please share. How much? How many people had 'sticker shock' when paying the bank back? What's the reality of the interests that accrue.? Thank-you.
