The reverse mortgage calculator is an excellent tool for the average consumer to help determine approximately “how much money can I receive?” There are some problems that exist however. Exceptions to the rule and available payout plans that the consumer may or may not be aware of are not figured in, therefore accuracy could become an issue and the consumer should always double check with a professional as to how much they would truly receive.
As with each plan there are differences in interest rates and payout plans which ultimately effect the total available funds as well as how quickly the reserve equity in the home is affected. These differences also occur with interest rate changes, so therefore a calculation performed 2 weeks ago maybe quite different from a calculation done today.
Ultimately it comes down to understanding that the reverse mortgage calculator is to be used only as a guide and never make an assumption on questionable issues, always consult with a specialist.
I’ve seen many times the consumer thinking they could not qualify for a reverse mortgage to be pleasantly surprised when the specialist performed the task and asked the right questions.. So the rule of thumb is to always double check with us or another professional before dismissing the possibility of attaining financial freedom with a HUD reverse mortgage.
