West Bloomfield, MI - Thousands of people are losing their homes to foreclosure due to our current economic condition, declining real estate values and unemployment. Families are faced with financial devastation as things continue to get worse. People are losing their jobs, their pensions and the financial security they have worked for and counted on for their future. As our economy continues in a downward spiral, the government has introduced a variety of programs to help those who qualify.

The reverse mortgage program for seniors has been available since 1989 and has gained the attention of many today. A senior who is age 62 or over can qualify for a reverse mortgage if they own their home and have equity. This is a wonderful program that helps seniors supplement their income and the requirements are relatively easy to meet. The borrower must live in their home, own their home, and have some equity. There are no credit issues; the loan is based on the age of the borrower and the value of the home.

Reverse mortgages are insured by the federal government through the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), a part of the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Before applying, a senior must complete counseling with a HUD approved independent counselor who will review the transaction with the senior and answer any questions they may have. The counselor's job is to help them understand the reverse mortgage process, analyze their financial situation and suggest alternative options if the reverse mortgage is not right for them.
