Questions about Reverse Mortgages from Spokane senior homeowners    Recently I hosted an opportunity for Spokane retirees, baby boomers and senior homeowners to learn about Reverse Mortgages at the Shadle Library. The library is a quiet, neutral location that is convenient for meetings, seminars and classes. The following are questions and answers about reverse mortgages from that event.     Q:  How much money can I receive from a reverse mortgage on my home?       The amount you can borrow depends on your age, the current interest rate, and the appraised value of your home.  First, of course,  any existing mortgages are paid in full before distribution.  Currently the FHA reverse mortgage caps the appraised value at $625,500 for homes in Spokane WA and across the nation. Keep in mind, ...

Reverse Mortgage & Required Counseling Counseling, in person or over the phone, is a mandatory step for reverse mortgage applicants. The purpose of third party counseling is for consumer protection as well as to provide additional information and to answer questions.  Counseling may be scheduled either before or after talking to a reverse mortgage specialist and typically lasts about one hour.   To locate an FHA counselor, click here  ⇒  HECM Counseling Agencies. Shop around a bit and make a few phone calls, because sometimes counseling is offered for free or at a very low cost to you. Typically, when free counseling is available, it is because an agency is the recipient of a grant, and it offers free counseling until the funds run out.   All you have to say is "I would like to schedule...
