The reverse mortgages are also distinct from
other mortgages on
ground that there is no limitation on
amount of income a person must have in order to be eligible for a reverse mortgage. The mortgage is secured on
home of
borrower. This shields
lender against any defaults on
mortgage. Therefore, credit history of
borrower is not much of a problem.
Keeping
home as collateral does not mean losing
right to stay in
home. The borrower can continue living in
home as long as they wish. The mortgage provider holds
right to
property, or
first mortgage. When
mortgage is repaid,
mortgage provider has to part with
rights to
home.
The mortgage will have to be repaid on
death of
last of
co-owners, if
borrower moves house permanently, or if
house is sold. Repayment of
mortgage also becomes due when
borrower fails to pay
property taxes, maintain
home, or pay
insurance of
home. Bankruptcy, letting your home, adding a new owner to
homes title, and being indicted in a fraud or misrepresentation are sufficient grounds on which
mortgage provider may demand repayment. If in case
borrower is not able to repay
mortgage, then
house will be confiscated.
Reverse mortgage leaves little equity in
home to be used by
heirs, unless
home equity is growing at an increasing rate. This will even impede
borrower from getting a secured loan or mortgage. Thus, even though a reverse mortgage is better because there is no obligation to make monthly payments, they must be taken with caution. Planning
repayment of
mortgage in advance, will let you enjoy
mortgage, while saving your house from repossession.
