FAQ’s Your Borrowers May HaveDoes my home qualify? Homes eligible for a reverse mortgage include single-family homes, detached homes, townhouses, and two-to-four unit properties that are owner-occupied. Condominiums must be FHA-approved. Some manufactured homes are eligible but must meet FHA guidelines. Home Safe program allows for Non FHA approved condos with value of $500K+.
How much money can I receive from a reverse mortgage? The money a borrower can potentially get is calculated by using the age of the youngest borrower, the current expected interest rate, the mortgage option selected, amount of home equity, and the appraised value of the home.
What happens if I outlive the loan? Will I have to repay the lender? No. As long as one of the borrowers on the loan note lives in the home and continues to pay the taxes and insurance and the home remains in good condition, you will not need to repay the loan. Once the last surviving borrower passes away, the home is sold or the obligations of the loan are not met, the loan must be repaid. It is a non-recourse loan.
Does my house need to be paid off for me to qualify? No.
Do I have to pay taxes on the cash payments I receive? No, but you hold the title to your home, you are still responsible for property taxes, insurance, utilities, fuel, maintenance, and other home-related expenses. You should consult with your tax advisor to provide guidance for your particular situation.
How will this loan affect my estate and how much will be left to my heirs? Once the last surviving borrower passes away, if you sell your home, or no longer reside there as the primary residence, you or your estate is responsible for repayment of the money you received from the reverse mortgage, plus interest and other fees. Any remaining equity belongs to either you or your heirs.
