What is a Reverse Mortgage? Reverse Mortgages are non-recourse loans that allow senior homeowners age 62 and older to convert home equity into cash. • Without leaving their homes • Without income or credit to qualify (review for federal liens) • Without having to make any monthly mortgage payments • Without having to repay the loan until they move out permanently, sell the house or upon death • No income, employment, medical or credit score qualification required
How Does a Reverse Mortgage Work? • Loan proceeds available to the borrower are based on a number of factors: • Age of homeowner(s) • Value of home • Location of the home • Interest rate • Proceeds available as lump sum, monthly payout, or line of credit option (growth rate) or combination • Loan never exceeds value of home • Proceeds received can be tax-free income (consult tax advisor) • Amount repaid is principal plus accrued interest, servicing fees and mortgage insurance premium (MIP) • Third Party Counseling Session Required

Common Misconceptions • “The lender takes the house” • Homeowner retains full ownership • Lender has a mortgage on the property • “I can be thrown out of my home” • Homeowner can stay in home for as long as he/she chooses and complies with loan terms • “I can owe more than my home is worth” • Homeowner can never owe more than value of home • “My heirs will be against it” • Once they understand how much they can help their parents, experience demonstrates that many heirs are strongly in favor of reverse mortgages
When the Loan is Due and Payable • Due and payable when last remaining borrower: • Sells home • Passes Away • Permanently leaves primary residence • What is due? • The amount paid out to the borrower, plus the amount paid on behalf of the borrower (MIP) , plus interest and servicing fees • Most lenders expects repayment within 12 months • Heirs or estate responsible for satisfying loan • Refinance • Other Assets • Life Insurance • Remaining Equity, if any, goes to estate or remaining heirs • Heirs / relatives not responsible for shortfall (non-recourse)
