Useful information regarding reverse mortgages in Bowersville Georgia


Reverse mortgage loan advances are not taxable, and generally don’t affect your Social Security or Medicare benefits. You retain the title to your home, and you don’t have to make monthly repayments. The loan in Bowersville Georgia must be repaid when the last surviving borrower dies, sells the home, or no longer lives in the home as a principal residence.

Types of Reverse Mortgage Loans

An HECM is a reverse mortgage loan product insured by the Federal Housing Authority (FHA). While other reverse mortgage loan products exist, the HECM is the most well-known and widely available in Bowersville Georgia. It enables eligible homeowners to access the equity in their homes by providing funds (in many instances in a lump sum payment) without incurring a monthly payment burden during their lifetime in the home. To be eligible for an HECM, a borrower must be 62 years or older, own their own property (or have a small mortgage balance), occupy their property as their primary residence, and participate in HECM counseling.

Reverse Mortgage Loan Requirements


Although lenders offer their own proprietary products, 90 percent of all reverse mortgages in Bowersville Georgia 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.

Understanding Reverse Mortgage Financing

Some who offer reverse mortgages in Bowersville Georgia may pressure you to buy other financial products, like an annuity or long term care insurance. Resist that pressure. You don’t have to buy any products or services to get a reverse mortgage (except to maintain the adequate homeowners or hazard insurance that HUD and other lenders require). In fact, in some situations, it is illegal to require you to buy other products to get a reverse mortgage.
