Considering a Reverse Mortgage? Here's What You'll Need!

Commonly Required Documents for a Reverse Mortgage Include:
Proof of Identity & Age: Government-issued ID and Social Security Number for all borrowers. Age verification is key for eligibility.
Property Information: Details about your home, including its address, property tax statements, and homeowners insurance policy.
Proof of Occupancy: Documentation showing the home is your primary residence.
Existing Mortgage Information: Statements from any current mortgages or liens on the property.
Financial Information: While income isn't a primary qualifier for monthly payments, we'll need to review basic financial details to ensure you can meet ongoing obligations like property taxes and insurance. This might include bank statements.
Counseling Certificate: Proof that you've completed HUD-approved reverse mortgage counseling, a mandatory step to ensure you understand the product fully.
