Reverse Mortgage Information

SUBJECT: Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) – Principal Limit Factors (Lower Loan To Values on Reverse Mortgages effective October 1, 2009)

HUD Mortgagee Letter

The Department of HUD just issued Mortgagee Letter 2009-34 which effectively cuts by about 10% the amount of fund available to senior homeowners who wish to obtain a reverse mortgage.  This will effect all new reverse mortgage loan applications that do not have a case number issued prior to October1. 

How this impacts my realtor friends here in the Inland Empire is that any senior homebuyers interested in using a (HECM) Reverse Mortgage for Purchase will now have to put about 10% more down.

Here is the link to the mortgagee letter: http://www.hud.gov/offices/adm/hudclips/letters/mortgagee/files/09-34ml.doc

It means a lot less business as existing homeowners and refinances will qualify for significantly less or not at all.  This is terrible.
