Reverse Mortgages in AL: FAQs
Which properties in Alabama qualify for a reverse mortgage?
You may qualify for a reverse mortgage in Alabama if you own substantial equity in a single-family home, townhome, FHA-approved condominium, or two- to four-unit property. Note that you must occupy the property as your primary residence, so vacation homes are ineligible.
What if I still have an existing mortgage?
You can still qualify for an AL reverse mortgage, pending that you own substantial equity in the home and meet all eligibility criteria. A portion of the loan proceeds will first be used to pay off your existing mortgage, then you can spend the remaining funds however you like.
Is the interest rate fixed or variable?
Reverse mortgage interest rates can be fixed or variable depending on your preferred method of payment. If you’d like a fixed interest rate, you can receive loan proceeds in one large lump sum. The rate will be determined at the time of close and will never change throughout the lifespan of the loan.
