Just thinking of trying to generate an extra 1k a month for enjoying our retirement a little more.
If you’re already short $1,000/month on your retirement income at 63, you’re going to be in for a world of hurt.
You’ve got a problem with your plan, and the reverse mortgage will do nothing to actually solve it.

I'd rather you put energy into a small part time job that earns you a grand a month.

OP, if you pursue this please share some of the numbers you get quoted. I'm reading up on the fees including mortgage insurance but haven't seen any definitive numbers. Also, wondering how much they'd actually loan monthly with your equity. Likely going to have to address this option w family members soon and would like to be better informed.

Like the previous guy, I don't know all the terms of a RM. Once the bank pays the value of the house, does the bank get to foreclose on the house or assume ownership? Are you allowed to live in the house once the bank pays for it? What happens to the appreciation of the property in the time the bank is making payments. I'm guessing the bank owns the appreciated value as well?
Well the concept it basic
They are only loaning about 30% in the OPs case cause of age and rates
Its a life loan so it never ends
Concept. Borrower has a 100k loan. Value 300k
Differed at 7% now thats 583 a mnth payment or 7k a year. Pay it dont pay it you have the option. Yes it compounds.
If value is 300k and he gets national average the last 100yrs which is 3.6% or something his value grows by 9k
Out pacing the differment. So the loan shouldnt be more than the value ever.
Its a life loan so there is no term its a non recourse so if loan is more than value you can throw the keys back to the bank. Heirs as well. You always own the equity cause you can sell or refi out at anytime
If said person dies heirs have plwnty of time to sell, pay it off or rwfi into their name
The title is always in borrwers name or trust
Loan also has a credit line option with a growth rate at about 10% right now on money not used
So if borrower has 100k access doesnt use is at the end of 12mnths they will have 110k access
Fixed rate doesnt have that option and sometimes you leave money on the table cause it doesnt give you the availability after 12mnths
To answer the doom and gloom MI is .5%
Its an FHA loan so they charge i think 2.25% on the value upfront and. 5% monthly
Originators can charge up to 6k in fees so grind that down, title/escrow, interst are the fees.
You can also escrow taxes/insurance for life with a LESA or if you have shitty credit it will be forced if you dont have a good reason for blemishes
The lesa in OPs case is held back for 20yrs so it could potentially kill the deal

Best loan out there
You keep saying this, but I can’t think of any other loans that are required to have a counseling session before you can enter into the agreement.

The 3% down Fannie Mae requires housing counseling
Not sure what that has to do with the Reverse not being the goat
