How does a reverse mortgage work?

June 11th, 2011
Smartass asked:


How does a homeowner benefit from a reverse mortgage?

Does he get paid every month more than he’s currently paying on his mortgage (giving him extra cash per month)?

Does the lender bet on the house appreciating after the borrower dies?

Why would anybody want to pay or buy a house from a person who still lives in there (which they cannot utilize until this person dies)?

Is reverse mortgage designed for people who have nobody to give their houses to when they die?

I switched the names for the mortgagor and the mortgagee. The records department is telling me I need to get an attorney involved and a title company that there is no “easy fix.” Can’t I just rerecord my mortgage the correct information?

How long after a bankruptcy that a mortgage was included in can you apply for another mortgage?

May 29th, 2011
Stacey asked:


I was told by an attorney that foreclosure and bankruptcy on a mortgage is 2 different things. I know that you can not apply for another mortgage for 5 years after a foreclosure and that after a bankruptcy you can apply in 18 - 24 months but does it make a difference if there was a mortgage involved in that bankruptcy. My mortgage was never reaffirmed after my bankruptcy neither.

How does dwelling coverage amount and mortgage loan amount work together?

May 26th, 2011
asked:


My mortgage amount is $242,000 how much coverage is needed? My insurance agent is saying I only need $169,000 of dwelling coverage but I think that’s a bit low. If I insure it for only $169,000 and we experience a total loss what happens to the other $73,000 on our loan amount? Do my husband and myself have to come up with the rest? Not sure what to do or where to go to get an honest answer.

May 25th, 2011
Think about it asked:


If my house is worth $250,000 and I have a first and second mortgage that adds up to about $135,000 can I still qualify for a reverse mortgage? Does it depend on how much equity I have in the house or liens on the property?
