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 the Consummate Professional Larry was the consummate professional and helped to expedite this process. We had many questions and Larry always found time to answer all of them in promptly. He kept us apprised of the process and offered explanation of how our application could be viewed by underwriting. I highly recommend Larry and endorse the reverse mortgage. The process was very smooth and done in record time as we had requested. Many thanks.

Most Helpful-Right Decision I know that I made the right decision using Larry McAnarney. He was most helpful in going through the process of securing a reverse mortgage for me. I had spoken to at least three competitors of Larry, but none were as friendly and to the point as Larry was. Larry made the whole experience of a reverse mortgage pleasant. I would highly recommend Larry to anyone considering a reverse mortgage.

Navigating Reverse Mortgages Made Easy Navigating the world of reverse mortgages was made easier with the help of Larry McAnarney. Larry answered his phone and returned all phone calls when he was unable to answer the phone. I contacted Larry to enlist his help with my sister and her husband to obtain a Reverse Mortgage. He met with them at their home, patiently answering all their questions as they sought to understand a reverse mortgage and helped them to understand all the necessary documents needed to secure the loan. My brother-in-law is unable to move about without a great deal of assistance and Larry arranged to close the loan at their home. I would recommend Larry to anyone who found themselves in need of a reverse mortgage.
