A wealth of information about reverse mortgages in Anaheim California


If you are considering a reverse mortgage in Anaheim California, shop around. Compare your options and the terms various lenders offer. Learn as much as you can about reverse mortgages before you talk to a counselor or lender. That can help inform the questions you ask that could lead to a better deal.

Reverse Mortgage Loan Types

Lenders generally charge an origination fee, a mortgage insurance premium (for federally-insured HECMs), and other closing costs for a reverse mortgage. Lenders in Anaheim California also may charge servicing fees during the term of the mortgage. The lender sometimes sets these fees and costs, although origination fees for HECM reverse mortgages currently are dictated by law. The amount you owe on a reverse mortgage grows over time. Interest is charged on the outstanding balance and added to the amount you owe each month. That means your total debt increases as the loan funds are advanced to you and interest on the loan accrues.

Reverse Mortgage Loan Requirements in Anaheim California


Although lenders offer their own proprietary products, 90 percent of all reverse mortgages in Anaheim California and elsewhere are insured by the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Federal Housing Administration, and known as "home equity conversion mortgages," or HECMs.
