Reverse Mortgages: Taxpayers on Hook for Billions of Dollars Every Year
Taxpayers On Hook For Billions Of Dollars Every Year
This from the Heritage Foundation: 2017 “Because of the largesse of federally financed subsidies in the Federal Housing Administration’s reverse-mortgage program, the federal government has gradually crowded out private insurers from the market for these financial products since the program began in the late 1980s. Indeed, amid the multi trillion-dollar maze of federal insurance and guarantee programs lies the Federal Housing Administration Home Equity Conversion Mortgage program—an insurance program providing loss coverage on reverse-mortgage originations backed by federal taxpayers. The loan program simply has become a severe financial burden for federal taxpayers. The Federal Housing Administration reports that the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage program faces a financial shortfall totaling roughly $14 billion in fiscal year 2017. To avoid any further compounding of the fiscal fiasco, policy leaders should wind down the federal Home Equity Conversion Mortgage program, and in the interim certainly refrain from any misguided reforms that would increase moral hazard, put more taxpayer money at risk, and ultimately continue to crowd out private mortgage insurers from the market for reverse mortgages.” I was stunned when I read this. This is a fact a salesman will never reveal. |

Thank you for posting this. If it saves even one gullible Villager from jumping off the reverse mortgage financial cliff your post will have been worthwhile. I found that the bleeding of taxpayers due to reverse mortgages going bad continues.

As I wrote in a similar thread here a few days ago (15,000 Floridians with Reverse Mortgages Facing Foreclosure and Homelessness) a RM was a godsend for my father who passed away 3 years ago at 93. FANNIE has owned it since he passed but he made out like a bandit.

It didn't "go bad" he did. He DIED. The terms of the RM were it "pays for life or until the last person leaves the home or is deceased." He died, they paid, and per the terms of the RM they owned the home and for that they gave him scarlet fever and from that CHF. If they didn't want to accept that it shouldn't have been offered. And thank for your 6 years of service in 2 wars too. Whoopdeedo.

I believe there is an advertiser, Mr. Hancock, that is pushing hard for RMs over the past months. Check his post today.

Not sure he is "pushing hard"............as I read, the RM is just one of his products and he is trying to off-set some of the negative, one-sided, posts. IMO. Have a Good One.

Mr Hancock is a sponsor of TOTV so he has the right to push his business, just as you have the right not to get a reverse mortgage.

I agree. But, when a sponsor creates multiple threads on an open forum, he should expect to get comments and discussion about the pros and cons of the information he posts.

He is ok with you doing it apparently as long as you do not comment on his threads. Than they either get ridiculed or taken down by him.
