In January of 2008, the first baby boomers reach the age of 62. This has sent investors from Wall Street to Washington scrambling to offer new, innovative products to those people looking at getting a reverse mortgage.

Not long ago that consumers had 3 reverse mortgage offers to pick from: 1. the FANNIE MAE HOME KEEPER, 2. the FHA HECM, and 3. JUMBO CASH ACCOUNT. Currently, there are 7 new lenders that have released competing programs, with more large investors wanting to enter into this growing market.

Many consumers have long awaited the option of having a fixed rate, and at last it is here. An FHA/HECM FIXED rate option as well as new multiple-margin HECM products are now available.

From January through June of 2007, there was an amazing growth in the reverse mortgage industry unlike anything it has seen since it’s inception 17 years ago. Now, the reverse industry is catching up with the tradition “forward” mortgage in the sense that there are no more lenders. this kind of competition creates more products and offerings so that the needs of the senior customers can be satisfied.

One of the most exciting new products available today is the new “Purchase Reverse Loan”. This product is available to seniors who are in the market to either purchase a new home, to down size, or relocate close to family. The ability to use a reverse mortgage to purchase a new property while never having to make a mortgage payment is VERY appealing to all seniors.

Purchasing a second home is another exciting use for a reverse mortgage. With this option, seniors can finally have that dream home they have always wanted. This second home can now be acquired with no monthly payments by using a reverse mortgage. It is even possible to have 2 reverse mortgage loans at the same time. You can have one on your existing home and one on your second home both with no payments!

If you are looking for a reverse mortgage, just make sure that you understand the programs that are available, as well as, the terminology so that you have confidence in the reverse mortgage process. This is especially important because not all lenders offer the same types of products and many of them have limited choices of investors to choose from.

Please make sure you look for a lender who is part of the National Association of Reverse Mortgage Lenders (NRMLA). This association is presently the only overseer of the ethical conduct of reverse mortgage lenders.
