March 6th, 2009 category: Downtown Riverhead, Over 55 / Active Adult, Real Estate NewsNo Comments »

When a foot of snow is the sight present at my front door, it occurs to me that owning a property absent certain time consuming tasks might be a great idea. While I have a few more years to go before the leap to a 55 and better, retirement, or active adult community occurs, I’m looking very forward to it.

Seniors to Benefit from Reverse Mortgages

January 28th, 2009 category: Over 55 / Active AdultNo Comments »

According to a recent column at Inman News authored by Tom Kelly, there is a loan of interest approved for senior homeowners. According to Kelly,

“The housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 recently approved the HECM-FOR-PURCHASE program, allowing lenders to close the mortgages after Jan. 1, 2009. The move allows older homeowners to make a large down payment on a new home and then utilize the reverse mortgage as permanent financing.”

In order to better offer an understanding of reverse mortgages, we’re providing a link to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), where details of this program, along with several other available offerings, can be found. Click here for info.

In addition to several links offering details, there is a word of caution to homeowners considering this type of financing: BEWARE OF SCAMMERS.

Evidently, there are predators seeking to obtain payment for information- ALL information can be found, for free, at the HUD site.

If you have any questions regarding the reverse mortgage, please do not hesitate to contact us. We will provide an expert able to assist with your navigation of this exciting new loan program.
