<\/a>A FHA\u00a0reverse mortgage application\u00a0process generally takes about 30-45 days from start to finish and has five major steps. However, the longest part of the reverse mortgage loan process is the decision-making process that leads up to the application.<\/p>\nThe average FHA reverse mortgage<\/strong> applicant his application process by\u00a0typically researching about the reverse mortgages using resources such as this site. He will request information by signing up in our newsletter. The homeowner may invest one to two months meeting with the specialist in person and reviewing the good faith estimate and other loan documents.<\/p>\n The application legally authorizes the lender to begin the application process but the lender cannot incur any costs on your behalf until counseling\u00a0is completed. The application\u00a0is not binding and can be canceled at any point during the process. The application will specify the\u00a0reverse mortgage fees, interest rates, and loan amounts.<\/p>\n Even though the application has been completed, the lender is not legally permitted to incur any costs on the applicant\u2019s behalf \u00a0until the applicant\u00a0has submitted a signed\u00a0HECM<\/a> Counseling\u00a0Certificate. This is proof that the applicant has completed the mandatory counseling session with a HUD-approved counseling agency.\u00a0The counseling can be completed before or after the initial application in most states.<\/p>\n The appraisal establishes the legal value of the applicant\u2019s property. The FHA reverse mortgage<\/a> appraisal must be conducted by an FHA-approved\u00a0appraiser and it must follow a specific FHA format. This means that even if a homeowner has already had an appraisal,\u00a0it will most likely have to be re-appraised at this point in the process.<\/p>\n The lender will confirm the applicant\u2019s legal ownership of the modular home<\/strong><\/em><\/a>\u00a0by conducting a title search and purchasing title insurance. They will also work with the applicant to clear up any issues with trusts, unpaid liens against the title, bankruptcies, etc. Once the lender has finished underwriting and has approved the application, it\u2019s status will be changed to \u201cclear to close\u201d. This means that everything has been completed and the final closing date can be set.<\/p>\n The lender and the applicant set a closing date where a notary or attorney meets with the applicant to sign the final closing documents. This is the applicant\u2019s opportunity\u00a0to review the closing documents to make sure that the interest rate, fees, and loan amounts are the expected amounts. Once signed, the application goes into a three-day\u00a0\u201dright of rescission\u201d period. This means that even though the closing has taken place, the applicant can still cancel the application with no penalty for three business\u00a0days after the closing.<\/p>\n Immediately after this waiting period, the title company will issue a check to the homeowner if proceeds are available from the reverse mortgage. If the applicant was using a reverse mortgage\u00a0to pay off an existing mortgage, the title company will also send the mortgage payoff amount to the lender.<\/p>\n In case you still have question about modular homes, you may contact\u00a0Legendary Homes Inc<\/a>\u00a0in Jackson, Michigan.
