You should look for a mortgage lender that offers a free consultation. They should be very upfront and let you know what the fees will be. You should chose a lender that has a brick and mortar location.

What will be the benefits of the lender in reverse mortgage?

The lender earns interest on the mortgage over time. While there are no payments, the interest does accrue. As a result the lender is fully aware the interest earnings will be received years later, however the loans typically never default because there are no payments, and they are insured by FHA so they are relatively low risk loans.


If you are on the title must you be on the mortgage?

From the time that you are added to the title, you must be listed on all future mortgages of the property; not necessarily as the borrower or on the note, but certainly your signature that you are aware of the debt and accept that there is a lien on the property is required. If you have an exhisting mortgage on a property, you must be aware of any "due on sale" clauses or the any other clauses within the mortgage that could accelerate the loan should anyone be added to the title without the persmission of the lender.

Is there any way to get out of a mortgage without foreclosing or selling?

Most refinances are done to "get out" of a mortage and get a better deal. If this is not an option due to lack of equity, or credit; it is now more possible than ever before to actually renegotiate with your current lender. Lenders are currently acquiring many more properties than they want to hold due to foreclosures. This provides a huge incentive to make it possible for their current customers to be able to afford their mortgage payment and not have to sell or face foreclosure. == == Yes, pay the mortgage in full. Another option is to deliver the deed (the rights) to the house "in lieu of" (instead of) foreclosure. The lender would have to agree to this provision. In this instance, the consumer is handling over the property and all his equity in exchange for the debt being cancelled. Obviously, a mortgage lender would only consider such an option if it was in their best interests. Deed in lieu of foreclosure is considered a derogatory credit notation, although not as bad as foreclosure itself, and will remain on a consumers' credit report for 7 years. Just be aware that if a deed-in-lieu is approved, that the lender does report it to the IRS as a 'forgiven debt' so there are tax consequences. I believe that it�s considered income to you, and therefore you have to pay taxes on it. The advantage to the mortgagor of a DIL vs a foreclosure is that it does look somewhat better on your credit report, and you don't have to worry about the lender seeking a deficiency judgment against you in the event that the property resells for less than the mortgage amount. You should be aware that I'm not an attorney, but I did work in mortgage servicing for a numbers of years.
