Step 4 - Your application is processed and your home is appraised
While your application is being processed, a licensed appraiser will determine the value of your property and make note of any needed repairs. If repairs are noted, the items will need to be corrected prior to final approval.
Step 5 - Your loan reaches underwriting
Underwriting reviews your information and issues the final approval.
Step 6 - Your loan reaches closing
The loan closer will prepare the loan documents for your signature with the closing agent.
Step 7 - Receive your payments
After closing, you will have three business days to reflect on your decision to proceed with the reverse mortgage and cancel the loan if you have any concerns proceeding. Once the three day period (the rescission period) has passed, the funds may be disbursed on your loan – by an initial lump sum, a monthly payment, a combination of the two, or left on a line of credit for future use.
Step 8 - Repaying your Reverse Mortgage
-
Your reverse mortgage becomes due under the following circumstances:
