Yes you can still get a reverse mortgage so long as you have sufficient enough equity to payoff the private lien and student loan. Your income is a non-factor when qualifying for a reverse mortgage.

No, you won't be denied.Two of my current Reverse Mortgage clients have student loans. One is making regular payments, so it doesn't impact his Reverse Mortgage. The other is in default, so he had to pay off the balance of the student loan with the proceeds from his Reverse Mortgage.An interesting thing happened to my client that's in default ... he had a stroke several years ago and the Student Loan Agency permanently deferred his Student Loan payments due to his poor health. I didn't know that could be done. So now he doesn't have to use any of the Reverse Mortgage proceeds to pay it off.There's a lot of good information on my website, Patti, at www.HuntingtonBeachReverseMortgages.com . Let me know if you have any questions after visiting it.

that will not be a big issue, it can be cleared up from the proceeds.
