What is reverse mortgage insurance? What are the requirements in order to take advantage of reverse mortgage? First and foremost, the term reverse mortgage must be defined in order to answer both of these questions. To put it briefly, it is a type of mortgage available for old and senior individuals as mandated by the law and the government of the United States. Reverse mortgage insurance on the other hand is a type of insurance that caters to the rights of both the creditor and debtor in a reverse mortgage in case one or either of them is unable to comply with the agreement entered by them through the reverse mortgage contract. This is a remedy that will ensure that the party that is deprived of compensation will still be able to get something of equal or greater value regarding what has been insured through the mortgage agreement.

In order to avail of this reverse mortgage insurance, one must first be able to comply with the requirements of such a mortgage. Firstly, the person availing of this kind of mortgage must be at least 62 years of age.

The debtor or borrower of the money must be exactly 62 years old once the contract of mortgage takes effect as specified in the date contained in it.

Secondly, the debtor or borrower must undergo credit counseling. This credit counseling must be done with a financial specialist or expert through a third party counseling service provider. The objective of this requirement is to ensure that the senior citizen debtor is well informed of what will happen once he or she engages in this reverse type of mortgage. This will equip him or her of the necessary knowledge that will ensure that he or she will not be, in anyway, put into a position that is not favorable. This is a method of the law in itself to protect the rights, privileges and interests of the old individuals of the United States of America.

Thirdly, the debtor must not have any subsisting or pre-existing mortgage in order to avail of this kind of mortgage. This is the protection allotted by the State and the law in order to protect the rights, interests and privileges of the creditor or lender of the money. This will ensure that both the creditor's and debtor's rights have equal protection of the laws that pertain to mortgages and loans. If you want to avail of reverse mortgage insurance then make sure that you first comply with these three requirements in order to prevent any further complications regarding the mortgage itself together with the insurance for such mortgage that you will avail of.

The FHA 203(k) Rehabilitation Mortgage Insurance Program - The "Fixer-Upper" Loan
By Jim Hodson Platinum Quality Author

Under Section 203(k) of the National Housing Act, the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) offers mortgage insurance on loans issued by approved FHA lenders to help borrowers purchase and rehabilitate a home. The home should be one that the borrower plans to use as their primary residence. This same insurance program also covers cash-out refinance mortgage loans whose proceeds will be used by the borrower to rehabilitate their current home.

Why the "Fuss" About FHA 203(k) Loans?

Trying to buy a "fixer-upper" home and rehabilitate it can be a very complicated process for borrowers. It typically requires taking out multiple short-term loans with high interest rates. These loans often require a balloon payment when they become due.

The FHA created Section 203(k)-insured loans to address the needs of such borrowers wanting to rehabilitate new or existing homes. This program makes the process of buying and fixing up a new home much simpler by providing the borrower with one long-term mortgage loan that covers everything.

How Do Section 203(k) Loans Work?

There are several basic requirements for a home loan to be covered under Section 203(k). The home must be at least one year old, and the planned rehabilitation must cost a minimum of $5000. The property value of the home must fall within the FHA loan limits for that area of the country. FHA maximum loan limits differ for each county, borough, or county in the state where the property is located..

When a 203(k) loan is closed, some of the money goes to pay for the purchase or refinancing of the home. The remaining money is placed in an escrow account to pay for the work on the home. Funds from the escrow account are paid out as rehabilitation work is completed.

Work Covered By Section 203(k)

Many types of improvements can be covered under this program. They include but are not limited to:

  • modernization of the home
  • correcting health or safety hazards
  • repairing or replacing plumbing
  • repairing or replacing electrical
  • repairing or replacing roofing
  • repairing or replacing floors and floor treatments
  • landscaping and other work to improve the appearance of the property
  • energy efficiency improvements

Other types of home improvements are covered. You will want to consult your lender to find out if your particular rehabilitation needs can be covered under the program.

Who Can Apply?

Anyone can apply for an FHA 203(k)-insured mortgage as long as they can afford the monthly house payment based on their debt-to-income (DTI) ratio. To apply simply contact and FHA-approved lender. Many services are available online where you can fill out a single form and get referred to multiple lenders allowing you to compare multiple rates and loan offers.

J Hodson operates FHA-Loan.org, an online resource for borrowers seeking information about FHA loans. There you can find more information on FHA 203(k) loans including the specific FHA maximum loan limits that apply to the particular county, borough, or parish where your property is located.
