How Title Insurance Plays a Role in HUD’s Reverse Mortgage Program

Posted on by

coupleIn October, 2011, the FHA expressed concern over rising delinquency rates in the Home Equity Conversion Market (HECM), which includes Reverse Mortgage products. This has resulted in new underwriting guidelines propagated through the National Reverse Mortgage Lender’s Association (NRMLA) and its members. One prominent Reverse Mortgage lender has announced that it will conduct financial assessments based on the applicant’s entire credit history, cash flow, and on the applicant’s overall ability to pay debts. Any defaults or  delinquencies in the prior 24 months will have a negative impact on underwriting. Cash flow will be determined by the lender with audits of the borrower’s tax returns and debt status. Some lenders have discontinued offering the Continue reading →

But as the housing market starts to return and the subprime mess fades from memory, the issue is up for debate.

Lenders and consumer advocates — rarely on the same side of the issue — are now cautioning against down payment requirements. They argue that such restrictions could limit lending, and prevent lower-income borrowers from buying homes. Continue reading →

Keeping Your Home Safe While On Vacation

Venice BoardwalkSummer vacation — for most people, this phrase conjures images of sandy beaches, amusement parks, lakeside cabins, or family road trips.
For burglars, summer vacations are the perfect opportunity to take advantage of unoccupied homes and garages. In fact, property crimes spike during summer months, peaking in July and August.

Here are a few tips for protecting your home while you’re gone this summer:

Stay secure.  Before you leave, double check that all doors and windows are locked. Don’t forget the upstairs windows: AC units, ladders, nearby trees, and even garbage cans can give thieves access to those windows. Trim or remove shrubs that offer easy hiding places. Don’t leave spare keys outside; thieves know where to look, too.

Privacy matters. Don’t post vacation plans on social media sites. Continue reading →
