What is a reverse mortgage?

A reverse mortgage is a home-secured loan that’s exclusively for homeowners and homebuyers age 62 and older. It allows borrowers to convert some of the equity in their home into income-tax-free funds. (Not tax advice, consult a tax professional.) There are different loan products to choose from that offer you options on what interest rate you are charged, how much money you can access, and how you receive your payments. Unlike a regular “forward” mortgage or traditional home equity loan or home equity line of credit, there are no monthly principal and interest payments as long as at least one of the borrowers lives in the home as their primary residence. As with any mortgage, in order for the loan to remain in good standing, the borrower must also keep up with property-related taxes, insurance and upkeep.

A Rocky Road Made Smooth My particular mortgage refinance was exceptionally complicated involving divorce decrees, lawyers and and settlement issues. Cutting to the chase, the situation was handled with professionalism and grace by my agent Larry McAnarney. At times when I felt like ripping my hair out, Larry was there to help each step of the way and keep the loan on track. It was a dedication far beyond what I would have expected. I'd recommend him to anyone seeking a reverse mortgage in a New York minute.

Very Happy With My Decision My experience with Larry was just wonderful. He was available for all my questions and had all the answers, I am very happy with both my decision to obtain a reverse mortgage and that Larry was the representative I chose to work with. If anyone would ask me about a reverse mortgage I would not hesitate to give them Larry's name.
