Reverse Mortgages

What is a

Reverse Mortgage?

Reverse mortgage loans offer a unique opportunity for eligible homeowners to tap into the equity in their homes without the need to make monthly payments. With a reverse mortgage, individuals aged 62 or older can leverage the equity in their homes to pay off or refinance their current mortgage, or purchase a new home. The amount that can be borrowed is based on several factors, including the value of the home, the borrower’s age, and the interest rate at the time of borrowing. Unlike traditional loans, repayment of the loan is only required when the borrower no longer occupies the property as their primary residence or if they pass away. Eligible non-borrowing spouses can even continue living in the home and accessing benefits as long as they meet their specific loan’s obligations, such as property maintenance, taxes or related expenses.

INFORMATION FOR THE FAMILY

There are many things that both your parents and your family should understand before deciding if a Reverse Mortgage is the best decision for everyone.

Sometimes the words “Reverse Mortgage” can be scary to people. It is our goal to educate, inform, and answer any and all questions you may have to help you better understand what these words actually entail. By doing so, we’ll make sure that your parents not only understand what will happen in the event that they pass away unexpectedly, but they’ll be able to see what their options are, what a Reverse Mortgage would look like in their lives specifically, and are agreeable with the loan terms provided, all before making a decision!

An educated discussion in terms of how Reverse Mortgage might benefit your parents is an important part of the process.

If you find yourself with additional questions regarding what your family should know about the Reverse Mortgage product, please contact us, and we will send you more information on our Reverse Mortgage product.


HOW MUCH MONEY CAN MY PARENTS EXPECT TO RECEIVE?

The amount of equity available with a Reverse Mortgage is based on the age of the youngest borrower, the interest rate, lending limit and the property’s value. How much of that equity that is available as cash to your parents will depend on their unique situation. Contact a PRMG Reverse Mortgage specialist today to go over your parent’s unique situation and get important information to help your family make an educated decision on if a Reverse Mortgage is right for you.


WHAT HAPPENS WHEN MY PARENTS PASS?

If one of your parents passes, eligible non-borrowing spouses can continue living in the home and accessing benefits as long as they meet their specific loan’s obligations, such as property maintenance, taxes or related expenses. Reverse mortgages only become due once both borrower(s) are no longer living in the home. If your parents leave their house to you as an inheritance, you’ll have multiple options available to you in terms of how the loan will be paid back, and choosing an option that is in line with your plans for the house at that time.

In most cases, a borrower’s estate allows the home to be sold in order to repay the lender. In some cases, the family chooses to pay off the loan in order to prevent selling the house. What’s important to know is that you have the flexibility and time to make a decision as you see fit!
