I often get asked what actually happens "under the hood" once your reverse mortgage is in place. 🚗
Many folks I talk to worry that a reverse mortgage means giving up control of their home, but I can tell you it’s actually the opposite. In my latest episode of the Under the Hood podcast, I explain why the FHA guidelines are designed to protect your independence and your home equity.
To keep your loan in good standing and ensure you (and your heirs) stay protected, I always emphasize these 5 simple "Rules of the Road":
1️⃣ Live in the home as your primary residence.
2️⃣ Stay current on your property taxes.
3️⃣ Keep your homeowner’s insurance active.
4️⃣ Maintain the home in good condition.
5️⃣ Keep your name on the title (it’s still YOUR home!).
That’s it. No hidden catches: just clear guidelines I use to help you age in place with peace of mind.
Curious about how I use these rules to protect the FHA insurance fund: and your other assets? Tune in to the full episode where I pull back the curtain on how the program really works.
