Bad Credit Home Mortgage
Six Benefits Of Reverse Mortgages
By Eddie Lamb
Are you over 62 years, looking for a little extra money and own most if not all of your home? If the answer is yes, then a reverse mortgage may be exactly what you're looking for. Here are some of the benefits a reverse mortgage can offer you:
#1: Reverse mortgages pay you. Instead of making payments to a lender, the lender makes payments to you. Of course as payments are made, your equity in your home decreases. It is, however, a great option if you don't plan on leaving your home to family members after you're gone.
#2: You can use the money you receive any way you choose. For example, it can be used to put your children or grandchildren through college, to buy groceries, to pay for healthcare, to buy a new car or to go on that dream vacation you've been putting off for 30 years.
#3: You can receive your money in a variety of ways:
* Lump sum
* Fixed monthly payments either for a set term or for as long as you live in the home
* A line of credit
* A combination of the above.
#4: A reverse mortgage isn't limited to single family homes. In fact, unless you own a manufactured home built before 1976 or an apartment in cooperative housing, your home likely qualifies.
#5: Your benefits, Social Security or Medicare are not affected by a reverse mortgage. However, if you are on Medicaid, any reverse mortgage proceeds must be used immediately to continue to qualify for Medicaid.
#6: No more monthly payments. You can use a reverse mortgage to pay off any existing debts. And your reverse mortgage loan is repaid when you no longer live in your home as a principal residence. The amount owed can never

I am not on the note or title but I did sign the mortgage. Can the mortgage company come after me as well now, even if it was a mistake by the title c...
2007 Mortgage forgiveness debt relief act
My home was foreclosed on 06/07/2007. The first mortgage was paid off in full by the foreclosure, but nothing went to the second mortgage. Now the second mortgage company is harassing me, and there is no way I can settle this $150,000 debt with my $40,000/yr income.
If they charge-off the account, is it forgivable under the 2007 Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act?
Right now they are threating to take me to court (this is the first call I have received from them)-- is there any chance t...

What kind of professional do I talk to?
OK. I've posted before, but here's the short story again:
I own a house in Michigan. I live in Kentucky.
I have about 140,000 left on the mortgage, and the house is worth about 125,000 if I'm lucky.

exceed the value of your home. Even better, if your home is sold and the proceeds exceed the amount you owe on your reverse mortgage, you or your estate receives the profits.
While a reverse mortgage is generally an excellent idea for many, there are a few drawbacks. Service fees and closing costs can make a reverse mortgage an expensive option, particularly if you're planning on selling the home in a few years. If you're not planning on living in the house a long time you may want to consider a home equity loan, because they're much less expensive and you can still take the dream vacation you're looking for. |
