HECM and reverse mortgage

is there any reason not to choose a HECM reverse mortgage as compared to any other program? i understand that reverse mortgages are generally a bit risky but i was wondering what the benefits would be for choosing an alternative to the norm by TAnder_927_648 from Oceanport, New Jersey.

Reverse mortgages have a specific use for specific persons.. The reverse mortgage enables you to live in a home that YOU OWN, without having to make mortgage payments.. Instead, you principal balance increases each month as interest accrues.. There is also an option where you can pull cash out and still have no payments.. It's all based on your age, your spouse's age, and how much your home is worth.. but for retired folks, where the income is tight, the HECM is a great option.... if your situation is you have plenty of income, and assets, and you have an estate and heirs, then there might not be a need for you to do a HECM... if you have a financial advisor, I would suggest sitting down with him and have him look at your complete scenario... He should be able to advise you if a HECM is right for you.. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona.

it depends on why you are getting a loan, the closing cost maybe a little high. If you are getting it to do repairs or something relating to that you may want to get a HELOC, if you are getting it to pay of some high interest rate debt or something relating to that because or just supplement your retirement income so you don't out live you savings then HECM is perfect for you...call me and we can discuss all options available to you..Lamin 4434714327 Equity Mortgage Lending.
