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 Organized Everything After we decided to do a reverse mortgage and some long searching, we found Reverse Mortgage Funding. We called Larry and he responded quickly and came to our house, answered all questions we had, that was it, Larry took over from there organizing everything. For us it took a very short time from 1st visit to closing. Looking to do a Reverse Mortgage, call Larry McAnarney First.

Great Service Larry McAnarney was great to work with. The whole process was fast and easy to understand. I had to assist my mother with this process due to my father's ailing health. I know that my dad would be very happy with the choices we made and the service that was provided to us by Larry.
