REVERSE MORTGAGE: How much can I receive?
A reverse mortgage is based on a mathematical equation. 1.) Age of the youngest borrower. 2.) Appraisal value of the home and the county where the property is located. 3.) The interest rate of the current program selected. This will determine the amount of funds available. Some people think it is better to wait until they are very old to obtain a reverse mortgage. NOT TRUE! If you obtain a reverse mortgage at age 62 and allow the full line of credit to grow, you will receive more money than you would have if you waited until you were older. Credit scores are not a deciding factor.
