You can use this online calculator (use the link is at the HUD website) to get an idea of the maximum loan size for your situation, and some explanation of the possibilities. Then reduce the loan size by the amount owed on the property to determine how much lump sum cash you could get:http://www.hud.gov/offices/hsg/sfh/hecm/hecmabou.cfmHUD also has a useful discussion:http://www.hud.gov/offices/hsg/sfh/hecm/rmtopten.cfmAnother calculator is found here, which incorporates the "amount owed" into the calculation:http://rmc.ibisreverse.com/default_nrmla.aspxA qualified lender can explain the different options available.

It is totally dependent on the borrowers age and property value. These are the sole criteria. You can have an existing loan -- over 50% of borrowers do. The first gets paid off and if there is cash available, you can get that in the form of a lump some or stream of payments.

usually your loan to value needs to be around 60% in general, but there are a few factors that will affect your loan to value. Your age is the main factor, the older you are, the better chance of lending a higher loan to value.

Even if your only source of income is passive income, you can get a cash-out refinance without the high fees of a reverse mortgage. ... Happy funding, Rudi

The equity position depends on the age of the youngest borrower. If you are in Florida please give me a call and we can discuss it.Charlie
