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.

Elderly Family Member We worked with Larry McAnarney to secure a reverse mortgage for an elderly family member. From beginning to end of this rather complicated process, Larry was extremely efficient, helpful, and knowledgeable. He shared with us all of the elements of this type of mortgage arrangement, explained clearly how it would work, and advised us of possible misunderstandings. When we had questions (as we did on multiple occasions), he answered them promptly and efficiently, both by email and telephone. He also followed up quickly to clarify some final issues and questions that arose as the closing approached and even after it had been completed. His manner was always professional and well informed. I would strongly recommend working with Larry in any matter related to mortgage financing or refinancing, especially so in regard to making a wise decision about a reverse mortgage.

Larry Always Made Himself Available Larry McAnarney, our loan specialist, helped us navigate the loan process with his guidance and expertise. He provided options and explanations along the way, always with my mom’s best interest in mind. He personally presented our case to the Homeowner’s Association and acted as our liaison with them. Larry always made himself available to us, and communicated in a fast, effective, concise manner. We recommend Larry as a loan specialist because of our positive experience and for his knowledgeable ability and his willingness to serve you.
