Reverse Mortgage Image What the news & people are saying I heard they re terrible Lose your home to the bank or government They re expensive My neighbor said Caution is that what you re saying too? The facts Extremely high satisfaction Recent program changes will mitigate loan program risks Lack of education (I miss the banks) The pendulum is shifting ever so slowly
WHAT ARE THE TOP CHALLENGES FACING SENIORS?
What are the current challenges? #1 Goal Remain Independent / Afford Home Increase monthly cash flow (no current mortgage) Lower mortgage payment, credit cards, debts Home improvements / real estate taxes Life happens Having the best quality of life possible (fear of outliving their money)
How Will Seniors Afford Life Primary Sources & Limitations 1. Social Capital - Social Security/gov t programs/family Insufficient to cover monthly expenses Significant financial, health & emotional cost 2. Financial Capital - Investments Underfunded/uncertain rates of return 3. Human Capital - Work Life happens can t continue 4. Consumption Eat less, lower liabilities, move Quality of life issue, emotional pain, impossible
.
What is a Reverse Mortgage? A reverse mortgage, also known as a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage or HECM, is a federally insured home loan administered by HUD that allows seniors to access the equity in their homes.
What are the key benefits? #1 Benefit No Monthly Payments Required No income or asset requirements* No minimum credit score* May close in a trust or life estate No health requirements Loan is non-recourse * Subject to Financial Assessment guideline changes
How does your client qualify? The Three Qualifying Questions: 1. How old are you? (Must be at least 62) 2. What is the estimated home value? 3. What is the current mortgage balance? THAT S IT, FOR NOW, TO QUALIFY!* Soon income, assets, credit BIG impact on market * Subject to Financial Assessment guideline changes
Maximum Loan Amount Examples +/- Age Home Value 65 75 85 $250,000 $127,500 $139,000 $151,000 $400,000 $206,000 $225,000 $244,000 $500,000 $260,000 $284,000 $307,000 $625,500 $327,000 $357,000 $386,000 Rough rule of thumb 45% ~ 60%+ loan-to-value
How is the cash received? Three Basic Options Lump sum - Take all the cash at closing* Receive Monthly Payments for life or term * Subject to specific cash out limitations
How is the cash received? Three Basic Options Lump sum Tenure Monthly Payments (for life) example $500,000 home 75 yr old person Instead of $284,000 available maximum loan amount, borrower would receive approximately $1,837 per month FOR LIFE!!!
How is the cash received? Three Basic Options Lump sum Monthly Payments For a Term example for 120 month term $500,000 home 75 yr old person Instead of $284,000 available maximum loan amount, borrower would receive approximately $3,150 per month
How is the cash received? Three Basic Options Lump sum Monthly Payments for life or term Line of Credit most complicated part to explain to a senior BUT perhaps the best reverse mortgage option!!!
