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.

Delight to Work with Larry Larry McAnarney was such a delight to work with. He handled everything with professionalism, but was also very personable, which helped calm a lot of nerves. All my questions were answered satisfactorily, and throughout the process, Larry kept me informed and updated, and he kept to his word at all times. I have a check in the bank and can now do what I had initially needed this reverse mortgage for. I am so glad he was recommended to me, and I now recommend him to anyone who needs assistance with reverse mortgage. .. it's definitely not as scary as we all are made to think! Thank-you Larry... God bless you!!!

Very Helpful and Answered My Questions I talked to 3 different RV mortgage companies to start with and all of them wanted me to sign up, offering very little information. Then I talked to Larry McAnarney. He was very helpful explaining details and answered my questions very well. He was very patient with me and we closed the reverse mortgage. I would highly recommend him for reverse mortgage loan.
