What are the basic requirements for a reverse mortgage?

To be eligible for a reverse mortgage, you’ll need to meet the requirements set by the federal government:

All borrowers must be age 62 or older (this applies to all co-owners listed on the home’s title).
The home must be your principal residence. And it must meet standards set by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on property type and condition. You may be able to use your reverse mortgage to pay for any required repairs in order to meet these standards.
Eligible property types include single-family homes, 2- to 4-unit properties, manufactured homes meeting certain criteria, condominiums that are approved by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), and townhouses. Co-ops do not qualify.

Larry was so help full during this process. I would highly recommend him. He has so much knowledge on this process and always has a fast response time to any of our questions we had.

Obtaining a Reverse Mortgage Larry McAnarney made the process of obtaining a reverse mortgage easy, with as little stress as possible. The only knowledge I had of reverse mortgages was negative, and it was something I wanted to avoid, but it was the only way we could stay in the home we had lived in for almost 40 years. If you have no other choice, I would highly recommend that you contact Larry to get you that information you need to get the process started.

Larry Truly Cares About Those He Helps From our first meeting we felt at ease. Larry is definitely knowledgeable with the reverse mortgage and he helped us to understand what went on with each step of the process. He was patient, a good listener, and took his time to explain issues in a way we understood. In the end we felt confident we had made the right decision and had chosen the right person to guide us. Larry truly cares about those he helps. We so appreciate his looking out for us. Thank you, Larry.
