Can a reverse mortgage be refinanced?

Yes.. however when you call your broker, you need to see if there is any clear advantage to do so... the costs associated with a reverse mortgage are high, and sometimes, the small savings you get with a lower interest rate just isn't worth the added fees to your loan.. dealing with a competent reverse mortgage broker will point out all the positives and negatives, and put those differences in writing, side by side for you to compare and make up your own mind...

you can but may not be an advantage.

Possibly, but it may not make sense. The new loan is going to cost you new fees that may very well eat up all of your savings. The best way to know for sure is to have a Certified Reverse Mortgage Specialist review your current program against the terms of a new one to see which makes more sense for you. ~ Bert Carpenter, The LoansA2z team of NOVA Home Loans ~ NMLS 40586 ~ Licensed in California and Arizona ~ www.LoansA2z.com 888-889-9950

First and foremost, do you have any equity in your home?? linda

You can refinance a Reverse Mortgage but there is typically a 5:1 advantage requirement. This is done to make sure that there is a benefit to doing the refinance. It also depends on when you took out your mortgage because the requirements have changed a few times over the past 4 years. Perhaps you are looking to refinance your reverse into a "forward mortgage." A lot depends on your goals and reasons for asking the question.
