Refinancing a Reverse Mortgage
Is it possible to refinance a reverse mortgage if a better opportunity becomes available or if a person’s financial situation changes?
Refinancing a reverse mortgage is possible but is important to weigh the benefits against the costs of originating another loan. A general rule of thumb is that the amount of money you will receive should be five times the amount of the cost to refinance the mortgage. Refinancing a reverse mortgage typically is only worth considering when a home has significantly increased in value, the FHA loan limit for the area has been raised.
