Reverse mortgages are ideal for homeowners who are retired or no longer working and need to supplement their income. Interest rates can be fixed or adjustable and the money is nontaxable and does not interfere with Social Security or Medicare benefits.

Your lender cannot take property away if you outlive your loan nor can you be forced to sell your home to pay off your loan even if the loan balance grows to exceed property value.

Reverse Mortgages are not short term, hard money, bridge or balloon loans normally associated with the type of loans people are forced to get to stop a foreclosure proceeding. But for seniors aged 62 and over, a reverse mortgage can be a life-line that rescues the seniors in danger of losing their homes to foreclosure.

Many seniors are faced with rising living costs with which their fixed incomes do not keep pace. Rising costs of everything from food and gasoline to new medical expenses and even the rising costs associated with some of the adjustable rate mortgage programs that some seniors found themselves taking (either by too little explanation on the part of the originator or because they felt they had no other choice to keep their payments as low as possible), leaves many seniors with impossible decisions to make. Do they make the mortgage payment, or purchase the food and medicine they need to live for that month? These decisions have placed many seniors in peril as they near or enter foreclosure on their homes.

Now for the good news!

A reverse mortgage requires no income or credit qualification. What this means is that if you are behind in your payments, even if the lender has filed a notice of default, you may still get a new reverse mortgage loan – and once you get it, you will never make another payment for life.

You still have to meet the other reverse mortgage criteria, but if you do a reverse mortgage may be just the right thing for you or your loved ones to live payment free and worry free for life.

The borrower(s) must go through counseling, the loan has to be processed including property appraisal, all title issues including trusts, conservatorships, etc must be reviewed and approved so a reverse mortgage loan is not a 4 or 5 day loan.

You need to realize that if you are going to use a reverse mortgage to stop a foreclosure it's a long term solution that must be dealt with in a timely manner without a lot of extra time for delay.
