Senior Homeowners are real winners with HECM reverse mortgages?

Senior Homeowners are real winners when doing a  HECM reverse mortgage?
post by Sam Collins
winners

One of the very first questions I am asked when meeting with my senior homeowner clients is, “Why are the closing costs to do a reverse mortgage are so expensive?”    Thanks to recent changes within the reverse mortgage lending community, senior homeowners can now enjoy a much lower than ever expected costs to do a reverse mortgage.

Specifically most of the recent changes have affected the fixed rate HECM product.  Most lenders have eliminated the service fee aside and some have eliminated or reduced origination fees.  The bottom line is this; some of the highest cost associated with doing a HECM fixed mortgage have been significantly reduced. 

The winner with all these changes are senior homeowners.  Why?  Because these reduced cost measures mean more money in the pockets for senior homeowners, making a good deal ever better.

Is a Reverse Mortgage Right for You?
post by Sam Collins
question

Daily I am asked  the question, “Should I do a reverse mortgage, and if so, is it the right thing for me ?” 

My answer is not always what my clients want to hear, because quite frankly there is no one answer.  Why?   Because everyone is different.  Yes, we all have different wants and needs.   We could put 10 clients in a room and I guarantee you we would have 10 different perceptions of what they want and need.   This is good, because if we were all the same then life would be very boring for us all.

If you follow these steps, you will be able to answer, if a reverse mortgage is right for you?:
1.   Be sure to read  the facts about reverse mortgages, (this web site will tell you a lot)
2.  Learn the truth, don’t accept hearsay.
3.  Request  information from a trusted reverse mortgage professional.  If you are not comfortable them, get someone else.
4.  Do a budget to see where your money is going?
5.  List all your assets to make sure you are currently using them properly.
6.  Consult with an advocate or family member.
7.  Ask yourself if you are going to be staying in your home for an extended period.
8.  Is there a chance your finances might change soon?
9.  Would it be better to sell or move to a smaller home?
10. Make sure the program you choose works for you.

These are just a few choices for consideration.  You may think of others.  If you have any further questions please let me know.
