Reverse Mortgage New mexico

It is getting harder and harder for many people these days to balance budgets and finding ways to makes ends meet.  This is especially hard to the older generations that besides increases in energy, food, transportation and other essentials costs; they are also facing high rates in insurance, medical care and medication making it nearly impossible for some to survive.  Many elderly are turning towards a reverse mortgage in New Mexico as a way to have that extra income that they need to get by. An increasing number of elderly are now turning towards their investments to make it through each month.  These give the elderly access to the value locked up in their housing investment without needing to cash in the total investment.

A reverse mortgage is not a new program; it has been around since the early 1960’s as a special type of home loan that enables older homeowners, over 62, to covert a portion of the equity in his or her home into tax free income. The equity which many elderly have built up in their homes after living in the same home for many years can be the largest single investment available to these senior citizens. A reverse mortgage is not like a traditional home equity loan or second mortgage, when a lump sum is provided and then repaid over time.  With a reverse mortgage, a lender makes payments to the borrower without giving up title, or selling the home.

The proceeds from a reverse mortgage can be provided to the borrower from the lender in a variety of methods.  The most common is a regular monthly cash advance, which assists the borrower to make monthly payments on expenses.  It could be paid as a single lump sum to be used as the borrower sees fit.  The funds can also be placed in an account as a line of credit which the borrower can utilize when needed.  This allows the borrower to take only the funds needed and not have to pay interest on funds not immediately needed. A combination of these methods can also be done.

Everyone that is considering this program should first meet with an independent reverse mortgage counselor before applying for the program.  These counselors can educate you about the reverse mortgage, alternatives and assisting in determining which product best fits your needs.  If you would like to receive more information concerning reverse mortgages in New Mexico, you should contact the New Mexico Aging and Long-Term Services Department. Since your home is probably your largest single investment, it's smart to know more about reverse mortgages, and decide if one is right for you!
