Qualifying for a Reverse Mortgage
There is no reason that hard working citizens should have to put their bills before their health care. No one should have to choose groceries or prescription, and yet that is a situation many of our seniors find themselves in. It doesn’t have to be this way.
Many seniors have started to tap into the equity they have built throughout the course of their life. Many seniors have decided to take out a reverse mortgage. You may be thinking you don’t qualify or that it is a complex process. Rest assured, it is a process that will have you breathing a sigh of relief and it is far easier to qualify than most people think.
The requirements are simple and straight-forward:
You must be at least 62 years of age.
You must own your residence.
You must have equity in your home.
Once you qualify, know that you are still responsible for your home. You must still maintain the residence. You also need to make sure you continue with your homeowners insurance and pay your property taxes.
Though a reverse mortgage has amazing benefits for those who qualify, it is not for everyone. A reverse mortgage is not for those who have properties in disrepair, as they are inspected to meet certain government and regulatory standards. A reverse mortgage is also not for those individuals hoping to sell or refinance their property in the next few years.
