Looking into top tips that you should know about reverse mortgages? Well you’ve come to the right place!

Tip #1…
You have to sell your house to get a Reverse Mortgage.

Answer: How can your sell your house, and then go back and refinance your former house with a Reverse Mortgage? YOU CAN’T! IT’S NOT TRUE! IT’S A FEDERAL CRIME!
*This myth started because of sale leasebacks.

Tip #2
My house can go into foreclosure because of a Reverse Mortgage.          

*Can you go into foreclosure if your home is free of ANY mortgages?

Answer: Your house can go into foreclosure, even with NO mortgage….IF YOU DON’T PAY YOUR PROPERTY TAXES!

Tip #3
The Lender Owns My Home. NO!
The homeowner ALWAYS maintains total ownership of
their home, with a reverse mortgage, until they pass! ALWAYS!

Tip #4
The Lender ends up owning my home when I pass away. No, the bank doesn’t get ownership of your home when you pass! Your home is an asset to be included in your trust and you direct who receives your home when you pass.

Tip #5
My heirs will be responsible for any debt associated with a Reverse Mortgage, NO!
Answer: Reverse Mortgages are a non recourse mortgage that does not affect your estate or heirs.                                              (consultant your attorney for legal advice)

Any questions so far about myths and  misconceptions?                      

1)You don’t sell your home.(total ownership)                                   

2) Property taxes (nonpayment causes foreclosure)                                                             

3) Bank gets house at your passing. (Your trust dictates )                               

4)  Heirs are liable. (nonrecourse )
