Borrowing against the equity in your home for Retirement Income can be a good idea. But reverse mortgages have a history of problems and despite recent reforms, Consumer Reports says be careful. When Karen Hunsaker and her husband took out a reverse mortgage karen was 60 years old. Two years too young to be on the loan so she took her name off the title. Then charles died suddenly and karen found herself facing foreclosure. When i got the notice, i didnt know what to do. I really felt sick to my stomach after a while and the feeling didnt go away for quite a long time. New regulations to protect spouses not on the loans came just in time to allow karen to keep the house. But despite reforms, Consumer Reports says there are still plenty of pitfall was reverse mortgages. Reverse mortgages can be very risky loans. They come with certain conditions and if you dont meet them, you could potentially lose your home. Reporter a reverse mortgage can also be expensive. So Consumer Reports has asked tough questions like, what is the total cost including closing fees and expenses . Is moving a better, cheaper option . Can you truly afford to live in your home . Youre still responsible for paying property taxes, insurance and upkeep. And finally, is this a home you can stay in as you age . Does it have a lot of stairs . Is there big property to maintain . Are you close to good doctors and hospitals . And probably most important, are you near family members who can look out for you if you need help why your older lives . Advice seniors should consider carefully. One important change, before applying for a reverse mortgage seniors will be required to fill out a detailed work sheet that outlines possible consequences. Consumer reports helped design such a work sheet which has recently become mandatory in california and thinks it should be required everywhere. Im Michael Finney, 7 on your side.
