Reverse Mortgage Cons

This can either be a pro or a con to a Reverse Mortgage, depending on your personal needs…

As of April 1, all reverse mortgages went to “live pricing,” meaning interest rates and margins will be fixed daily, not weekly.

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.

When signing applications, there is no longer any kind of “lock” 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 “cleared to close” when the originator locks the interest and margin at whatever the market offers at that time.
