Job being a loan officer, I’ve done it and there is a lot of training and knowledge necessary to be a loan officer. Reverse Loans are getting better and far more main stream.
Banks that do reverse will foreclose if the money owned is higher than the actual value. A good thing for the next person/investor to buy.
