Reverse Mortgage Refinance

Homeowners at the age of at least 62 who want to refinance using a reverse mortgage may do so. For the most part the reverse is completed for free and clear homes. However, if you follow the basic guidelines of

Age 62: Reverse mortgage up to 25% loan to value
Age 75: 40% Loan to value
Age 85: 65% loan to value

Then if you were 62 years of age, owed $10,000 and your home was worth approx $100,000. Then you could refinance with a reverse program and pay off your existing first mortgage, and take an additional $15,000 in cash depending on the cost of the loan. $25,000 would be the total mortgage amount and would be 25% of the value of your home. Using this formula you can arrive at a figure to determine if the reverse is the most appropriate type of refinance for you.
