Reverse Mortgage Interest Rates

Under the FHA HECM program, the Federal Reserve Board requires that the lender disclose reverse mortgage rates to the prospective borrower in the form of a Total Annual Loan Cost, or “TALC” disclosure. This displays the total transaction costs over the projected life of the loan, including the interest due once the borrower leaves the property on which the RM has been placed. A mortgage adviser will help you find appropriate reverse mortgage rates given your individual situation. The borrower and the borrower’s family should be made fully aware of the costs incurred by the reverse mortgage rate.
