Yes, If you don't call me to give you the best rate the disadvantage will be a higher interest rate. I may be able to get you the best rate in the entire country if you qualify. Thank you

The reverse mortgage is a great program for the right person, it's not for everyone. It's intended to help people afford to remain in their home and maintain their independence. If you are over the age of 62 (A requirement for the program) and you have a strong equity position or you're purchasing a new home and intend on putting a large deposit down it may be a good option. The front end cost are steep so it's important that you intend on keeping the mortgage for a long time for it to make sense.. If I can assist any farther I'm happy to help.

oh yes.. but there are a lot of advantages as well.. with a RM, your responsible to pay your annual taxes and home owners insurance. You also have to pay for any upkeep or repairs. And because the mortgage is a reverse amortizing loan, your balance gets greater and greater each month.. if rates are low, then your home's value should keep pace and you should still have equity, however if the market declines again, it's possible your home could be worth less.. if you want to move and your home is not worth what is owed, you are responsible for the difference.. However if you no longer able to take care of yourself and you move to a care facility, then you could sell the home and you would not be liable for any deficiencies..

The only disadvantage is, you trade income or debt relief now, for less equity in the future. The nice part of that is, you can pay back some of the principal and interest any time you choose, so you can treat it as a line of credit. I am a specialist in reverse mortgages, and that is all I do. The guidelines changed today, so contact me for up to date information, and the best possible service. Dave Metsker
