Your Questions About Reverse Mortgage

Betty asks…

What happens when a partner dies in the reverse mortgage?

My mother and I own a home, if she dies first being older and I live in the home too, older me, will I be able to continue living in the home when she dies or do I have to move and sell the home? This is regarding the reverse mortgage policy

admin answers:

Equity has a point, if this is your loan as well you do not have to pay it off yet, but you will at the agreed equity limit.

If only she took out the loan you will have to pay it all back at this point. You just have to come up with the money, you do not have to sell the house if there are other funds to repay it.

You are in luck. Reverse mortgages are my specialty. My office is located in Fort Worth but one of the regions I cover is Houston. I am in the area every couple of weeks. I would be glad to help you.

Sandra asks…

Where can I find a Reverse Mortgage company in Tennessee?

Looking for a Reverse mortgage company within Memphis.

admin answers:

Are you looking for a local company?

I know One Reverse Mortgage is licensed there, you can do a google search for them. I would put up their link but Yahoo apparently does not like people actually putting links to a certified and credible business.

Sharon asks…

What do you think of reverse mortgage for people 62 and older?

I’m a loan officer doing reverse mortgages for the elderly in the state of CA. The largest one to date I have done was 2.6 million. I have found this program to help so many people that are 62 or older. True this will eat up equity in there home but its there home and there equity. This is the part that kills me. Why do “some” the children of the elderly feel like this is there money and think that there parents must suffer and live a hard life with less.

admin answers:

Reverse mortgages are tricky things. I think it’s a good idea, but from what I’ve heard, there are a lot of consumer unfriendly terms in those mortgages, as well as very high fees and commissions. Right now, I think it very wise for anyone thinking about them to take it slow, and even pay a lawyer a few hundred bucks to review the terms.

Enlighten me. Do you get a good commission off of those reverse mortgages. Are there a lot of fees?

Your Questions About Mortgage Calculator

William asks…

Where can I find a mortgage calculator to see differences if I pay more principal?

The only ones I am finding are for new loans. I need one where I can plug in what I owe on my mortgage interest rate etc then how much I would save by adding additional principal each month. We already pay some additional principal but I want to compare it to my mortgage company’s bi-weekly payment plan.

admin answers:

Best is to do it yourself in Excel

bi-weekly payment plan is a rip — you’d get same result by making an added 1/2 payment each six months and no promises of more. This preserves flexibility — if you get squeezed, you can put off the added payment. In a time of “rolling unemployment” preserving financial flexibility is essential.

Daniel asks…

Where can I find a good mortgage calculator?

The calculator i am looking for must have an option for extra payments, as well as lump sums paid at specific and iregular dates? The calcs i have only have one option.

admin answers:

If you are going to need such a specific calculator, you should build your own in Excel.

George asks…

Donna asks…

How do I set up a mortgage calculator in Excel?

What I would like to do is have 4 different fields, one each for the principal, interest rate, number of payments, and monthly payment. I’d then like to change ANY of the 4 fields, leaving one blank, and have Excel calculate whatever the missing variable happens to be in the last remaining field. How can I do this?

Thanks!

admin answers:

Try putting this question in the computer section. The techies should definitely have an answer for you there.

Lisa asks…

How do you figure amortization by hand, without the help of a mortgage calculator?

Is there a formula that I could simply plug the numbers into that would give me the amount of the payment for $137,500 with a 5.25% interest rate for 30 years?

admin answers:

There is a formula, but I don’t remember what it is. But, if you can get that loan at that interest rate over 30 years, TAKE IT! That is a great deal.
