New Rules for an HECM Loan in Utah Present Challenges Seniors in Maximizing Benefits
Salt Lake City, Utah (PRWEB) March 19, 2014 -- As the year continues to progress, seniors interested in applying for a reverse mortgage in Salt Lake City will be faced with additional hurdles. To ultimately increase the stability of the program, the Department of Housing and Urban Development has reduced the amount of equity seniors are able to access in addition to limiting the amount of money they are able to receive within the first year after taking out the mortgage. The main change made to the reverse mortgage system involves how much money seniors are able to take back in cash from the home equity they already have in their home. Under the new regulations, seniors may be able to take out 10 to 15 percent less than the previous rules allowed for. For example, under these new changes, a senior citizen with a 5 percent interest rate on their loan will be able to borrow up to 52.6 percent, plus loan fees, on the appraised value of their home.
However, RMM is finding ways to help seniors navigate these new rules with their completely free counseling services.
