Reverse Mortgage
• For seniors over the age of 60 years or better. A reverse mortgage can be used to turn a portion of the equity in your home into cash that can be used for many different purposes that may enhance and extend your retirement. If you currently have a mortgage, a reverse mortgage could eliminate your mortgage payment for life (taxes and insurance must still be paid, and the home maintained) and allow you to access additional equity (over and above your mortgage balance) to create available cash which is not readily available while in the form of home equity. You have spent years putting your money into your home equity, and now with a reverse mortgage, you may be able to convert some of that equity into tax-free cash.
Non-Prime Loans
• For self-employed borrowers who have difficulty qualifying with the traditional Tax Return or W2 income that most lenders require. Lower credit score borrowers can also take advantage of the Non-Prime Loans. A non-prime mortgage could be considered the “new and improved” version of the old subprime mortgages. There now exists much more responsible underwriting, preventing mortgages being issued to unworthy borrowers. On a positive note, those who would be capable to keep up with their mortgage payments but have been locked out of the market in recent years, are starting to have opportunities to own their own home. I guess you could say non-prime mortgages are the more responsible version of subprime mortgages, which are essentially extinct.
