All About Alameda California Reverse Mortgage Loan Types

All HECM lenders in Alameda California must follow HUD rules. And while the mortgage insurance premium is the same from lender to lender, most loan costs, including the origination fee, interest rate, closing costs, and servicing fees vary among lenders.

Understanding Reverse Mortgage Financing

Some who offer reverse mortgages in Alameda California may pressure you to buy other financial products, like an annuity or long term care insurance. Resist that pressure.

In fact, in some situations, it is illegal to require you to buy other products to get a reverse mortgage.
