Philip
Is there a reverse mortgage available for people less than 62 years old?
I am a US homeowner. Instead of refinancing, I wanted to explore the possibility of a reverse mortgage.All I have seen so far is that this is only good for homeowners aged 62 or more. Is there a company that provides reverse mortgages for those younger than 62?

YES

A reverse mortgage is a special type of loan used by older Americans to convert the equity in their homes into cash. The money from a reverse mortgage can provide seniors with the financial security they need to fully enjoy their retirement years.
Many of the same costs that someone pays to obtain a home purchase loan, or to refinance their existing mortgage, apply to reverse mortgages too. You can expect to be charged an origination fee, up-front mortgage insurance premium (for the FHA Home Equity Conversion Mortgage or HECM), an appraisal fee, and certain other standard closing costs.

In most cases, these fees and costs are capped and may be financed as part of the reverse mortgage. Below is a more in-depth explanation of each type of fee.


Origination Fee
The origination fee covers a lender's operating expenses—including office overhead, marketing costs, etc.—for making the reverse mortgage.


Under the HECM program, which accounts for 90 percent of all reverse mortgages made in the U.S., the origination fee is equal to the greater of $2,000 or 2 percent of the maximum claim amount (i.e., county FHA loan limit). Currently, the FHA loan limit varies from a low of $200,160 (for rural areas) to a high of $362,790 (for high-cost metropolitan areas). Therefore, the 2 percent origination fee generally ranges between $4,003 (2 percent of $200,160) and $7,256 (2 percent of $362,790).

Home Keeper borrowers are charged an origination fee that may not exceed 2 percent of the value of the home. With either product, the entire amount of the origination fee may be financed as part of the mortgage.

Mortgage Insurance Premium
Under the HECM program, borrowers are charged a mortgage insurance premium (MIP), equal to 2 percent of the maximum claim amount, or home value, whichever is less, plus an annual premium thereafter equal to 0.5 percent of the loan balance.

The MIP guarantees that if the company managing your account – commonly called the loan “servicer” – goes out of business, the government will step in and make sure you have continued access to your loan funds. Furthermore, the MIP guarantees that you will never owe more than the value of your home when the HECM must be repaid.

Appraisal Fee
An appraiser is responsible for assigning a current market value to your home. Appraisal fees generally range between $300-$400.

In addition to placing a value on the home, an appraiser must also make sure there are no major structural defects, such as a bad foundation, leaky roof, or termite damage. Federal regulations mandate that your home be structurally sound, and comply with all home safety codes, in order for the reverse mortgage to be made.

If the appraiser uncovers property defects, you must hire a contractor to complete the repairs. Once the repairs are completed, the same appraiser is paid for a second visit to make sure the repairs have been completed. The cost of the repairs may be financed in the loan and completed after the reverse mortgage is made. Appraisers generally charge $50-$75 dollars for the follow-up examination.

Closing Costs
Other closing costs that are commonly charged to a reverse mortgage borrower, include:

Credit report fee. Verifies any federal tax liens, or other judgments, handed down against the borrower. Cost: Generally under $20
Flood certification fee. Determines whether the property is located on a federally designated flood plane. Cost: Generally under $20
Escrow, Settlement or Closing fee. Generally includes a title search and various other required closing services. Cost: $150-$450
Document preparation fee. Fee charged to prepare the final closing documents, including the mortgage note and other recordable items. Cost: $75-$150
Recording fee. Fee charged to record the mortgage lien with the County Recorder's Office. Cost: $50-$100
Courier fee. Covers the cost of any overnight mailing of documents between the lender and the title company or loan investor. Cost: Generally under $50
Title insurance. Insurance that protects the lender (lender's policy) or the buyer (owner's policy) against any loss arising from disputes over ownership of a property. Varies by size of the loan, though in general, the larger the loan amount, the higher the cost of the title insurance.
Pest Inspection. Determines whether the home is infested with any wood-destroying organisms, such as termites. Cost: Generally under $100
Survey. Determines the official boundaries of the property. It's typically ordered to make sure that any adjoining property has not inadvertently encroached on the reverse mortgage borrower's property. Cost: Generally under $250

Service Fee Set-Aside
The service fee set-aside is an amount of money deducted from the available loan proceeds at closing to cover the projected costs of servicing your account.

Federal regulations allow the loan servicer (which may or may not be the same company as the originating lender) to charge a monthly fee that ranges between $30-$35. The amount of money set-aside is largely determined by the borrower's age and life expectancy. Generally, the set-aside can amount to several thousand dollars.

(Note: The servicing set aside is just a calculation and not a charge. The only amount added to your loan balance is the monthly servicing fee, which ranges from $30-$35.)

Nope. By definition, reverse mortgages are only available to those 62 and up. Sorry. Why would you want a reverse mortgage anyway if you are not on a fixed income? You have to pay the whole thing back when you sell the house!


lendermark1
Nope. 62 is the required age.

People in foreclosure can also get one...other than that, 62 or higher!

Why not do a cash out refi and put the money in a money market or something similar. You pay yourself that way by setting it up with a financial planner. I have had several clients work loans this way with the help of a good financial planner. E-mail if you have questions.

Sorry, these loans are only set up for people over 62. Now if a spouse is over 62 and one isn't you CAN still do it but the younger spouse must be taken off of title.

You are actually safer to sell to someone who only wants it as investment property such as a rental and can wait on posession or allow you to be their tenant. This is better than reverse mortgage since you can be in default very easily on a reverse. It would be a terrible thing to put out an elderly couple who are trying to secure their end of means and that was the initial purpose behind the reverse mortgage but as always, one bad apple spoils the bunch.

reverse mortgages aren't that good. it's negative ammortization, meaning you LOSE equity.

I think you'll find that "reverse morgtages" apply to homes,
paid in full.
It means that one can draw income from a bank or other source, based on the projected value at a given point in time, or adjusted as the market changes.
When the value is depleted, the other party owns the home.
It also may be based on less that the projected value, and may have some equity left.

I don't know if one can draw from the equity while a morgtage remains.
