How a Reverse Mortgage Works in MI

For qualifying Michigan homeowners, a reverse mortgage (also called a HECM, or home equity conversion mortgage) can offer a great way to increase their financial freedom. How?

Next, an FHA-approved appraiser will also assess your home’s value and eligibility during this stage.

Reverse Mortgages in MI: FAQs

How are interest rates determined?

Interest rates can vary depending on numerous conditions, and an individual borrower’s rate can also be fixed or variable. During the application process, your reverse mortgage lender will use an index and margin to determine the appropriate rate for your loan.

How are reverse mortgages calculated?

Three factors will play into the value of your HECM loan: 1) the youngest borrower’s age; 2) the property’s appraised value; 3) current interest rates.

Do you make monthly payments on a reverse mortgage?

Borrowers have the option to make payments on a MI reverse mortgage, but they do not require monthly loan payments until a maturation event, like the borrower moving out of the property or passing away. If that occurs, the loan becomes Due and Payable.
