Subject: Costs of Reverse Mortgages

Are you 62 years of age or older and have owned your home for many
years? Are you on a fixed income? Maybe you are researching reverse
mortgages as an option of supplementing your income.

Reverse mortgages can be beneficial to elderly people who need help
covering housing repairs or improvements, medical expenses, or other
costs.

They are beneficial in that they don't affect social security and
Medicare and they are not a taxable source of income.

But what you need to take in consideration before deciding if
reverse mortgage balances out for you is the costs and interest
rates on reverse mortgages.

First you will want to remember that a reverse mortgage from
private company is the most expensive type of loan compared to
others.

The Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) , the most popular
reverse mortgage, usually charges a 2% origination fee as well as a
2% insurance premium charge.

There are also the typical closing costs that are associated with
loans. These costs can amount up to thousands of dollars depending on
the amount of the loan.

All of these costs can usually be financed as part of the principle
at the time of closing the loan, which means the borrower does not
have to have a large sum of money up front to close the loan.

After all, the loan is targeted toward Senior Citizens on a fixed
income.

Sometimes companies will waive some of these costs if the
borrower borrows the maximum amount that they qualify for.

In either case there is a monthly service charge that is added to
the loan balance every month usually ranging from $25 to $35.

These loans sound expensive to borrow, but to see if they are
beneficial for you, you have to compare the costs to the benefits.

The fact that this income is not taxable may be a balancing factor
for its financed costs.

The best way to figure out how you benefit is to talk to a reverse
mortgage councilor with is a requirement for the HECM loan
before applying.

They are likely to be able to calculate it out and give you some
real numbers on how the scale balances out.
