Reverse Mortgage Interest Rates
Understanding Reverse Mortgage Interest Rates
Reverse mortgage interest rates vary depending on which product is being discussed. The most popular reverse mortgage is the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM), or HECM Reverse Mortgage. There are fixed rate reverse and adjustable rate reverse mortgage programs. The fixed rate programs require lump sum distribution, while the adjustable rate programs offer many options including line of credit (with growth), monthy payments to the borrower, or lump sum distribution. Adjustable rate reverse mortgage interest rates for the HECM are based on the LIBOR index. Although the reverse mortgage program is administered by the Federal Housing Administration(FHA)there are differences between lender costs and rate options so you are encouraged to shop. There is also a cap on how high the reverse mortgage adjustable rate is allowed to go. This was implemented as a safeguard for the borrower.
