I’m having trouble finding the law that states the answers for these. I’m only looking for the law that will answer my questions.
When I take my monthly draw from the bank from my reverse mortgage loan is that considered income? Also can I deduct the interest when it is added to the outstanding loan balance each month.

Im 64 and my mortgage is paid off. I read from one lender that fees could run between $5,000 to $8,000. Is this a competive market or is this what I should expect?
Also, my wife ( co-owner ) is only 60 years old…. What problems will I have with eligibility? Should I just scrap this idea and is there another way to get my equity from my house. I am on social security retirement..with no other income and my wife is unable to work.

With a reverse mortgage if owner stays in house and ends up with excessive equity does lender go after estate?

With a reverse mortgage, If owner stays in house for longer than expected and with interest, etc. ends up “upside down” — in other words, more is owed on the house than it’s current value, (of course, after the death of the owner), and after the bank sells the house can it then come to the estate to make up the difference?

What is a reverse mortgage and do you advise it as a retirement option?

November 8th, 2008 | Posted in Personal Finance   Comments Off
mgs4Real asked:


My friends were looking into getting one and I did not understand what it was. It sounds like it isn’t much different than a “second mortgage” that you receive in payments instead of in one lump sum, paying interest on this loan all the while. Correct?
