Frequently Asked Questions | The Reverse Mortgage Process


How a Reverse Mortgage Works

A reverse mortgage allows older homeowners to tap into their equity without the requirement of monthly payments.
The amount available is based on age, the value of the home or maximum claim amount and current interest rate. A sum of money is provided in cash, a line of credit to draw from or a monthly income. The loan is due when the last surviving borrower moves, sells the home or passes away. Then the entire loan balance is due. The loan balance includes the amounts advanced, fees and interest charges that have accrued over the life of the loan. Since the home remains in the homeowner's name they or their estate benefits from the appreciation.

The Simple60 is geared to consumers who want to pull out $50,000-$75,000, typically for a specific purpose and a shorter period of time. While loan amounts vary depending on age and home value, a 60-year-old borrower with a home valued at $250,000 owned free and clear could qualify for $62,500 under the Simple60 program. Closing costs would be approximately $4,513, about one-third of the HECM closing costs. The interest rate on the Simple60 program is the 30-day LIBOR rate, plus 4 percentage points.

Cash Keeper

This variable rate reverse mortgage is tied to the 1 month LIBOR index with two margin options, 3.5% and 3.25%. As with all Jumbo reverse mortgages there is no maximum lending limit. Origination fee is 2% of the principal limit and outside closing costs are charged and may be added to the loan balance.

Fannie Mae Homekeeper®

Fannie Mae is the nation's largest investor of home mortgages and a major investor of reverse mortgages.

A consumer may choose to receive the funds from a Home Keeper as: (1) fixed monthly payments for life (i.e., for as long as the borrower occupies the home as his/her principal residence; (2) a line of credit; or (3) a combination of monthly payments and line of credit.
Home Keeper borrowers are charged an origination fee that may not exceed 2 percent of the adjusted value of the home, whichever is greater, a monthly servicing fee (and other closing costs. All of these can be financed and included in the mortgage.

The interest rate charged on a Home Keeper mortgage adjusts monthly and is equal to a fixed spread above an index rate – the current weekly average of the one-month secondary market CD rate, which is published by the Federal Reserve. The rate may never rise by more than 12 percentage points above the initial rate; there is no cap on a monthly adjustment other than the lifetime cap.

The Home Keeper for Home Purchase program enables seniors to obtain a Home Keeper mortgage in connection with the purchase of a new home – in a single transaction. The transaction reduces the out-of-pocket cash needed by the consumer to buy a new home, eliminates any new monthly mortgage payment, and helps the consumer keep more of the sales proceeds from their old house – or a larger amount of savings – to use for other purposes. The maximum claim amount for this product is $417,000.
