Unity Mortgage
The Reverse
Mortgage Company
You've worked hard to provide a home for your family. But even with all
that work, sometimes you need extra money. That's when it makes sense to
let your home work for you. Now you can get the money you need with a reverse
mortgage from Unity Mortgage. Isn't it nice, knowing all that hard work
keeps paying off?

What
is a Reverse Mortgage? A
reverse mortgage is a special kind of mortgage loan for seniors. It is
a safe and easy way to turn your home equity into cash. Unlike a home equity
loan, you do not have to make monthly payments. Instead,
a reverse mortgage PAYS YOU. More importantly, you do not have
to repay the loan for as long as you live in your house. It's
a great way to keep your home and get money from it at the same time.
How
Do I Qualify?
It's simple. You and any co-borrower must be
at least 62 years old. You must own your home free and clear, or
just have a small balance on your existing mortgage. Best of all, there
are no income or credit requirements to satisfy.
How
Much Can I Qualify For?
The amount you can borrow is based on the value of your home, the number
of borrowers, and the age of the borrowers. Check the chart to see how
much you might qualify for: (Varies by interest rate
and geographical location.)

How
Do I Receive My Money?
You can receive your money in several ways: Equal
monthly payments as long as you live in your home. Equal monthly
payments
for a certain period of time. A line of credit you
can draw upon as it is needed.
When
Must I Repay the Loan? You
must repay the loan if you no longer live in your home.* In the event of
your death, your heirs can choose to repay the loan and keep the house,
or sell the house and repay the loan. *Note: Some newer types
will guarantee an income for life even if you sell your house and move.
What
Types of Reverse Mortgages Are There? There
are two main types, one is from the Federal Housing Authority
(FHA) and the other is from FannieMae. They are very similar. The
FHA mortgage is called a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage and the FannieMae
mortgage is called the Home Keeper. The FHA is a US Government Agency and
FannieMae is a private corporation chartered by the US Government. Discuss
with your Unity Mortgage representative which one would be appropriate
for you.
What
about interest charges and fees?
Reverse mortgages charge interest at an adjustable rate. This means that
the interest rate you are charged can change periodically. This does not
affect the amount of money you receive. You pay the interest at the time
the loan is repaid. You also incur closing costs and fees when you obtain
a reverse mortgage. These items can be included in your loan, so
you don't have to pay cash for them.
Are
Reverse Mortgages safe? Reverse
mortgages are very safe. FHA and FannieMae GUARANTEE
the payments that are made to you. They also guarantee that you
can stay in your home as long as you like, and you will never owe
more than you house is worth.
