If you’re considering a reverse mortgage to help fund your retirement, you may be wondering, “How do I qualify?” To be eligible for a typical reverse mortgage, you must be at least 62 years of age, but for a “Jumbo” reverse mortgage – typically used for high end, premium properties – the age limit can be as low as 55. The younger you are, the less equity you’ll be able to borrow.
In both cases, depending on age, the borrower must generally have 50% or more equity in the home, and it must serve as their primary residence. Additionally, they must keep up with the loan obligations of keeping the home well maintained , and paying property taxes and homeowners’ insurance. To assure borrowers fully understand this type of loan, they are required to attend a HUD-mandated counseling session with a certified counselor of their choosing who will answer any concerns or questions the borrower may have.
In addition, a financial assessment is conducted to ensure the borrower can meet the loan obligations and has not incurred either a foreclosure or a bankruptcy within a certain period prior to the loan . Also, in order to qualify, they must not be found to be delinquent on any federal debt. To find out more about reverse mortgage qualifications, call us today.
Owen Coyle
I’m Owen Coyle, an 87 year young “Seasoned Citizen” living in Escondido California.
As of April 1, 2023 I’ll be starting my 23rd year as a Reverse Mortgage Specialist. I have no desire to retire, so as long as my health remains good, I’m planning on helping senior homeowners obtain Reverse Mortgages at least until I’m 90, and hopefully a few years beyond.
I absolutely have a passion for working with senior homeowners, improving their “Quality of Life” and giving them “Peace of Mind” by setting up Reverse Mortgages for them.
A Reverse Mortgage is not for every senior, but when “It Fits”, it can absolutely change their life for the better. When I meet with seniors, I always suggest that they include as many of their children as possible in our meetings. I always want to have the entire family “On The Same Page” and understand how the Reverse Mortgage will benefit their parents based on their particular situation and needs.
Most Reverse Mortgage companies do business by using the telephone, email or US Mail and use a notary to take care of the Reverse Mortgage “Application and Closing Documents”.
I do business “The Old Fashion Way”. I go to the seniors’ home and sit down with them at their kitchen table and talk with them “Face to Face”. I make sure that I answer all their questions and that the entire family understands how the Reverse Mortgage works.
I’m very concerned about how much “Misinformation” and “Misconceptions” about Reverse Mortgages there are out on the street, so I’m on a mission to get “The Truth” out to as many seniors as I can as I talk to them individually and through my Reverse Mortgage workshops and seminars.
Please call or email me (760-334-6155, owen.coyle@gmail.com) with the information that I need and I will prepare a "No Obligation Benefits Analysis" for you. This information will be used to create a computer printout that will show the approximate amount of money that will be available for you and the various payment options that will be available to you.
