We have noticed there is handful of copycat or reverse mortgage alternatives that don&#8217;t offer the protection of a goverment backed Reverse Mortgage.</p>
<p>Some of these loans may say they offer more equity, may say they allow lower aged individuals, but in reality you could potentially be risking your home and your financial security.</p>
<p>Make sure you choose to go with any non FHA or HUD program to have a lawyer or attorney review all mortgage documents.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This can either be a pro or a con to a Reverse Mortgage, depending on your personal needs&#8230;</p>
<p>As of April 1, all reverse mortgages went to &#8220;live pricing,&#8221; meaning interest rates and margins will be fixed daily, not weekly.</p>
<p>Thus, when seniors are shopping for reverse mortgages, they must be sure to compare apples to apples because originators (salespeople) may try to hoodwink even the sophisticated potential borrowers by backdating their good-faith estimates and quoting products that are not even available on the market any longer. That is why your old application will not work.</p>
<p>When signing applications, there is no longer any kind of &#8220;lock&#8221; on the interest rate, et cetera, until the lender is ready to close the loan. Thus, neither the lender, the originator or the elder person will know what the final amount available for a loan will be until the loan is &#8220;cleared to close&#8221; when the originator locks the interest and margin at whatever the market offers at that time.</p>
<p><strong>Find out your current interest rate by calling 1-888-9REVERSE (1-888-973-8377)</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Make sure when you are exploring a Reverse Mortgage loan that you understand all the fees and costs of the loan. The fees are higher but these are built in for protection features. If you would like a full breakdown of fees and costs please call <strong>1-888-973-8377 and ask for Troy Shellhammer</strong>, he is a specialist and will disclose all information with you.</p>
<p>Beware of the Costs<br />
But reverse mortgages are not cheap. Origination fees, the costs related to preparing and processing your loan paperwork, can take a bite. With an HECM, fees can cost up to $2,500 for a home worth less than $125,000. If the house has a value beyond $125,000, the fee is capped at 2% of the first $200,000 of your home’s worth plus 1% of any amount beyond $200,000. The most origination fees will cost is $6,000. Third-party closing costs could be anywhere from $2,000 to $3,000. There are also appraisal costs to consider. There’s also an insurance premium, which can be tacked onto the loan. Total non-interest costs could easily tens of thousands of dollars. A good tip: Don’t take on more credit than you need. Just because the bank approves you for a certain amount of money, don’t assume you’ll need it. Consider borrowing less.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You hear and read a lot of articles about reverse mortge cost and fees being higher than equity lines, refinances, or normal home purchases. In retrospect they can be higher, however the reduced qualifications requirements is a pro instead of a con. I found a comment from an individual replying to costs of a reverse mortgage. Pretty interesting&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>People who argue that the cost of the reverse mortgage is high often forget that the senior still has a mortgage payment. Once the reverse mortgage is in place the mortgage payment goes away. A senior with a $800 dollar a month mortgage payment now can apply that money to other needs.</p></blockquote>
<p>He makes a good point that even with the higher costs, seniors still are elminating a large debt and even a large monthly payment.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We have seen a handful of new reverse mortgage lenders and reverse mortgage brokers using a heavy &#8220;debt consolidation&#8221; pitch to push more consumers into reverse mortages. Reverse Mortgages can be a great tool for debt consolidation however certain steps need to be followed to insure you don&#8217;t repeat your previous actions and go back into heavy debt, because at that point you won&#8217;t have your house to bail you out.</p>
<p>One key to remember that isn&#8217;t always told by some brokers/lenders. You still are <strong>100% responsible</strong> for your property taxes and insurance. When looking for debt consolidation, it is important to factor in what you will be paying for your taxes and insurance on a yearly basis and factor that into your number crunching.</p>
<p>Reverse Mortgages are a wonderful and can be great at reducing or eliminating other high interest rate debt, however it is important to really number crunch your required monthly outlay before jumping in.</p>
<p><strong>To speak with a specialist, call 1-888-973-8377.</strong></p>
