Let’s Examine the HECM Reverse Mortgage Costs & Fees:
Let’s examine the fees and costs associated with HECM reverse mortgages to see how they may be rolled into the loan or deferred until the loan is due and how they may be worth it for qualified Washington homeowners looking to improve their financial flexibility.
Origination Fee – This fee pays for the processing of the loan application, which includes underwriting, appraisal, title search and closing costs. It can run from from 0.5% to 2% of the total loan amount, and equates to $750 to $3,000 on a $150,000 reverse mortgage loan. it’s important to remember that it covers the costs of the loan. As a one-time fee, it is typically rolled into the loan balance, therefore not paid out of pocket.
Mortgage Insurance Premiums (MIPs) – Required on all HECM reverse mortgages, the upfront insurance premium protect both the borrower and the lender by ensuring that the loan can be repaid even if the home’s value declines or if the loan balance ever exceeds the home’s value. The MIP is equal to 2% of the home’s appraised value or the FHA lending limit, whichever is less. On a $500,000 home, the MIP would be $10,000. There is an additional 0.5% annual MIP accrued that is not paid until the end of the loan.
Servicing Fee – Generally between $25 and $35 per month this fee covers the costs associated with loan administration activites like preparing and sending out monthly statements, tracking interest, and fees.
Interest Rates and Fees – Interest rates on reverse mortgages can be fixed or adjustable and may be higher than traditional mortgage rates because the loan balance is not being paid down, over time, which results in compounding interest.
