The benefits and drawbacks of reverse mortgages

Nov 9

Reverse mortgages may be appealing particularly if you own lots of equity in your home. These loans have their disadvantages.

The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), has put an end to all foreclosure actions and delayed all foreclosure actions being considered for FHA-insured single family loans. However, the moratorium does not apply to vacant or abandoned properties. A servicer is able to delay the foreclosure of a reverse mortgage by at least six months in accordance with the guidelines of HUD. A further extension is possible.

 

Traditional mortgages are the ones in which the borrower is able to take out an loan from a lender, and then is able to repay it over time. With each payment it increases the value of the mortgaged property and reduce the amount of loan. A reverse mortgage, like a traditional mortgage, permits you to borrow money while securing the loan with your home. Instead of receiving a lump-sum payment which must be paid back in time, you receive instalments from the lender, that are then converted into a loan.

 

Have you received an unpaid notice from your lender?

 

The majority of reverse mortgages are Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECMs) which are backed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) (FHA). The Federal Housing Administration, also known as the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (or "HUD") is part of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. The FHA reimburses the lender for any loss that occurs if the loan is made faster and the house isn't valued enough to be able to pay back the lender fully through foreclosure auctions or any other kind of liquidation procedure.

 

A Reverse Mortgage Could Help you avoid foreclosure

 

A reverse mortgage could be an option to save your home when you are in arrears with your mortgage payments or on the brink of losing it. The foreclosure will end once the loan funds from a reverse mortgage (usually in the form of a lump-payment) are received and the previous loan has been paid off.

The Drawbacks of a Reverse Mortgage

A reverse mortgage differs from other types of mortgages in that the amount you owe increases in time. This is the reason why the lender will offer a lump-sum that is paid in installments every quarter, or a line of credit to the borrower through a AHECM (or the combination of monthly installments and an unsecured line of credit).

 

These expenses increase as monthly fees and interest like mortgage insurance premiums and servicing fees are added to your loan balance. You will be charged interest and fees for the interest and charges that are added to your loan balance each month.

With a reverse mortgage, you'll lose a portion (or the majority) of the equity you've built up over time.
