Requirements for a Reverse Mortgage Loan in Anchorage Kentucky


Qualifying for a reverse mortgage is easy and hassle-free. There is no minimum income required and no monthly repayments. And what's more, with a reverse mortgage, you do not stand the chance of losing your home. In the case of a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM), HUD requires that you meet with a counselor from an independent government-approved housing counseling agency. The counselor must explain the loan's costs, financial implications, and alternatives. This is a tremendous resource. Shop the loan market all you want, but take what you find to a counselor who can walk you through all your options and compare them, side by side.
