Reverse Mortgages in AR: FAQs
How are reverse mortgages calculated?
The size of a reverse mortgage loan depends on three variables: 1) the age of the youngest borrower; 2) the appraised property value; 3) the current interest rates.
How are interest rates determined?
You can receive a fixed interest rate through a lump sum disbursement of proceeds. If the interest rate is variable, it will be determined at the time of closing based on the current index and the lender’s margin. GoodLife offers the most affordable rates on AR reverse mortgages that you can find in the industry.
What other closing costs are involved?
Borrowers may need to use a portion of their loan proceeds to settle their remaining mortgage balance before spending the funds as they like. You will also need to pay for upfront and ongoing mortgage insurance that provides non-recourse protection, as well as property taxes and required maintenance. If you choose another reverse mortgage company in Arkansas, you may face additional closing costs related to third-party underwriters and originators.
