FAQ

Reverse mortgage: common questions

Will my heirs lose the house?
Heirs can keep the home by paying off the loan, or sell it and keep any remaining equity.
How is the money paid out?
As a lump sum, monthly payments, a line of credit or a mix.
How long does it take to close?
Most loans close in about 21–30 days. Some of Craig’s recent clients closed a purchase in 9 days and a refinance in 4 days when the file was ready — every file is different.
How much do I need for a down payment?
It depends on the program. VA, USDA and physician loans can be zero down for eligible borrowers, FHA starts at 3.5%, and some conventional programs start at 3% — or 1% with lender-paid assistance for income-qualified buyers. Down payment assistance can cover part or all of it.
