The Best Reverse Mortgages

Nevada residents are now able to utilize a private reverse mortgage product called "HomeSafe", which was created to provide even more access to your home's equity.  Previously, the only option in NV was the HECM reverse mortgage, which is federally backed and has a loan limit of $636,150 (note: that loan limit is increasing to $679,650 as of January 1, 2018).  As a result, many homeowners with higher valued properties or non-FHA approved condos may have not been able to qualify under the HECM program or may have not qualified for as much of their equity as they would have liked.  This private jumbo program could solve that issue by allowing loan amounts up to $4 million and condos valued over $500,000.

It has more flexibility.  Really? A reverse mortgage gives you the option to decide whether you would like to make a monthly payment or not.  Most borrowers elect not to make a payment which is what the program was designed to offer:  keep more of your cash for retirement.  The reverse mortgage does not have to be repaid until one of three things occur:  the last remaining borrower or eligible non-borrowing spouse passes
