Types of Reverse Mortgage Loans

Lenders generally charge an origination fee, a mortgage insurance premium (for federally-insured HECMs), and other closing costs for a reverse mortgage. Lenders in Charleston Oregon 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


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.

Financing a Reverse Mortgage in Charleston Oregon

Some who offer reverse mortgages in Charleston Oregon 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.
