How much can you get from a reverse mortgage with an outstanding loan?

I have an outstanding loan of approximately $275,000. My house is valued at nearly $310,000. I am 68. Can I get any relief from a reverse mortgage even with my outstanding debt? Please advise.

Considering the amount of debt that you have in relation to equity in your home, I wouldn't say that a reverse mortgage will be final answer for you, but it may help you pay off a big chunk of what you owe. When you get a reverse mortgage, you are not given access to the full amount of equity in your home because there needs to be a cushion for accruing interest over time and the risk of home values dropping. In general, borrowers are given a loan amount of anywhere from 40%-60% of their home value.


To get a more specific answer, I suggest contacting one of our AAG Professionals. They can walk you through all of your financials, and tell you how much you qualify for and whether or not a reverse mortgage can solve your problem.
