Reverse Mortgages Demystified

Millions of seniors are finding that a reverse mortgage makes a lot of sense. Here’s why:

  • You continue to own your home, just like with any other mortgage.
  • You don’t need to make monthly payments. Principal and interest are only due when your home is sold. You will have responsibilities with a reverse mortgage, such as paying the property taxes, homeowners insurance premiums and home maintenance expenses.
  • You decide how you want to use the proceeds. Use the money to supplement your income, make home improvements, preserve your investments or even pay for long-term care.
  • Loan proceeds do not affect Medicare and Social Security benefits. However, loan proceeds could impact eligibility for needs-based programs such as Medicaid or Supplemental Security Income by counting toward qualifying income and asset limits.

    Where We Lend

    Statement:

    A reverse mortgage increases the principal mortgage loan amount and decreases home equity (it is a negative amortization loan). GoodLife Home Loans works with other lenders and financial institutions that offer reverse mortgages. To process your request for a reverse mortgage, GoodLife Home Loans may forward your contact information to such lenders for your consideration of reverse mortgage programs that they offer. Reverse mortgage loan terms include occupying the home as your primary residence, maintaining the home, paying property taxes and homeowners insurance. Although these costs may be substantial, GoodLife Home Loans does not establish an escrow account for these payments. However, a set-aside account can be set up for taxes and insurance, and in some cases may be required. Not all interest on a reverse mortgage is tax-deductible and to the extent that it is, such deduction is not available until the loan is partially or fully repaid. GoodLife Home Loans may charge an origination fee, mortgage insurance premium (where required by HUD), closing costs and servicing fees, rolled into the balance of the loan. GoodLife Home Loans charges interest on the balance, which grows over time. When the last borrower or eligible non-borrowing spouse dies, sells the home, permanently moves out, or fails to comply with the loan terms, the loan becomes due and payable (and the property may become subject to foreclosure). When this happens, some or all the equity in the property no longer belongs to the borrowers, who may need to sell the home or otherwise repay the loan balance.
