Bad Credit Home Mortgage
Six Benefits Of Reverse Mortgages
By Eddie Lamb
Are you over 62 years, looking for a little extra money and own most if not all of your home? If the answer is yes, then a reverse mortgage may be exactly what you're looking for. Here are some of the benefits a reverse mortgage can offer you:
#1: Reverse mortgages pay you. Instead of making payments to a lender, the lender makes payments to you. Of course as payments are made, your equity in your home decreases. It is, however, a great option if you don't plan on leaving your home to family members after you're gone.
#2: You can use the money you receive any way you choose. For example, it can be used to put your children or grandchildren through college, to buy groceries, to pay for healthcare, to buy a new car or to go on that dream vacation you've been putting off for 30 years.
#3: You can receive your money in a variety of ways:
* Lump sum
* Fixed monthly payments either for a set term or for as long as you live in the home
* A line of credit
* A combination of the above.
#4: A reverse mortgage isn't limited to single family homes. In fact, unless you own a manufactured home built before 1976 or an apartment in cooperative housing, your home likely qualifies.
#5: Your benefits, Social Security or Medicare are not affected by a reverse mortgage. However, if you are on Medicaid, any reverse mortgage proceeds must be used immediately to continue to qualify for Medicaid.
#6: No more monthly payments. You can use a reverse mortgage to pay off any existing debts. And your reverse mortgage loan is repaid when you no longer live in your home as a principal residence. The amount owed can never

new to a quitclaim deed
Hello,
My husband has property and a mobile home in his name. At this current time, his step dad is living there. We would like to start renting the property out. Is it possible to have his step dad start paying rent or move out? Is there a legal procedure to notify his step dad? The property is already paid for, so there is no mortgage, just the annual taxes. Also my husband has two minor siblings on the deed as well. Is there anyway to get them off? If not, what does this mean for them when ...
Pay Option Arm due to adjust after 5 years
I have a Pay Option Arm. It adjusts every year. It is set to adjust again this year and we will no longer have any "options" to make the minimum payment, interest only, etc. We were told this loan should be refinanced withing 5 years, But , the home is way underwater and we can't sell and the bank won't modify. The question is-- will this be the last time they adjust the loan? Maybe a better question is--Once they do adjust this-- will will be locked in for the life of the loan? We m...

80/20 GA Purchase, 1st modified, 2nd charged off, what now?
I purchased home using an 80/20 combo loan and never refinanced the loans so both remain purchase mortgages (to my knowledge non-recourse loans). The 1st mortgage and 2nd mortgage were with the same company all along until my 1st was modified. The company agreed to modify my 2nd at the same time but lost the paperwork and only modified my 1st mortgage. Then the company closed and the 2nd was charged off and sold to Greentree. Now GT is harrassing me and threatening lien with wage garnishment. My...

Quit Claim Title back to the Lender?
House was surrendered to lender in Bankruptcy (California). Over a year and bank still has not started foreclosure. House is vacant for over a year, I'm several hundred miles away from that town now.
I am still getting insurance, taxes & code enforcement notices. How do I get my name off the Title? Will a quit-claim (back to the lender) do the trick?
exceed the value of your home. Even better, if your home is sold and the proceeds exceed the amount you owe on your reverse mortgage, you or your estate receives the profits.
While a reverse mortgage is generally an excellent idea for many, there are a few drawbacks. Service fees and closing costs can make a reverse mortgage an expensive option, particularly if you're planning on selling the home in a few years. If you're not planning on living in the house a long time you may want to consider a home equity loan, because they're much less expensive and you can still take the dream vacation you're looking for. |
