Reverse Mortgage

About Face – How Reverse Mortgages Work

Reverse mortgages are probably best understood when compared side-by-side with a traditional home mortgage, otherwise known as a "forward" mortgage. The following table shows the differences between the two mortgages:

FORWARD MORTGAGE REVERSE MORTGAGE
Uses income to pay debt Uses home equity to
get cash or credit
Monthly mortgage payments No payments; debt is paid when
the borrower dies, sells the
home, or moves
Falling debt, rising equity Rising debt, falling equity


As you can see, both loans incur debt against your home and both affect equity, but they do so in very different ways. For a traditional home mortgage, you would be making monthly payments to a lender. With a reverse mortgage, they will make the payments to you. In essence, the two loans work the complete opposite of one another.

Which Reverse Mortgage is Right For You?

There are basically three different reverse mortgage plans being offered today: Uninsured, Lender-Insured and FHA-Insured:

Uninsured Reverse Mortgage, Delta Home Loans, Grass Valley, CAUninsured. This type of reverse mortgage differs dramatically from an FHA-Insured or Lender-Insured loan. With this plan, you will receive monthly loan advances for a fixed term only – the number of years you select when you first take out the loan. The second important difference to note with an uninsured loan is that it will be due on a specific date. This type of reverse mortgage is best suited for short-term, substantial cash needs.

Home Equity Conversion Mortgage, Delta Home Loans, Grass Valley, CAHome Equity Conversion Mortgage. The most common type of reverse mortgage is the only program that is federally insured and backed by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

You may also be allowed to mortgage less than the full value of your home, thus preserving your equity for later use.
