Unlock the Potential of Your Home Equity with Ease

Welcome to DDA Mortgage – your trusted partner in making informed financial decisions that resonate with your retirement goals. As you explore the possibilities of enhancing your financial freedom during retirement, our Reverse Mortgage Calculator stands as a beacon, guiding you through the myriad of possibilities unlocked by the equity in your home.

What is a Reverse Mortgage?

A reverse mortgage is a specialized loan designed for homeowners aged 62 and older, offering a unique opportunity to convert part of the equity in your home into cash without having to sell your home, give up title, or take on a new monthly mortgage payment. It's a financial strategy that can supplement social security, meet unexpected medical expenses, make home improvements, and more, thereby providing peace of mind and financial security.

How Does Our Reverse Mortgage Calculator Work?

Our Reverse Mortgage Calculator is designed with simplicity and accuracy at its core. By inputting just a few key pieces of information about your home and your age, we can calculate an estimate of how much equity you can access through a reverse mortgage. Here's how it works:

1. Enter Your Contact Information: We need to know where to send the estimate.
2. Enter Your Date of Birth: Your age is a crucial factor in determining the amount you can borrow, as reverse mortgages are designed specifically for the senior demographic.
3. Home Value: Input the current market value of your home. This figure plays a significant role in calculating the potential loan amount.
4. Existing Mortgage Balance (if any): If you still owe money on a traditional mortgage, let us know how much. This will be paid off as part of the reverse mortgage process, potentially freeing up more cash flow for you.
5. Calculate: With all the information in place, hit the calculate button. Our calculator will process the information and provide you with an estimate of the available loan amount. Best of all, we have a real person review the estimate for accuracy before we email you the results.

Why Choose a Reverse Mortgage?

• Financial Flexibility: Enhance your retirement income with the flexibility to use the funds as you see fit.
• Stay in Your Home: Continue living in your home with the comfort of knowing you have a financial cushion.
• No Monthly Mortgage Payments: Unlike traditional loans, there are no monthly payments to worry about (as long as you comply with the loan terms).

Eligible Properties

1. Single-Family Homes: The most common type of property eligible for a reverse mortgage is a single-family home. These properties must be the primary residence of the borrower.
2. Multi-Unit Properties: Properties with up to four units are eligible, provided the borrower occupies one of the units as their primary residence. This includes duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes.
3. Townhouses: Townhouses often qualify for reverse mortgages as long as they meet the same criteria as single-family homes, including being the borrower's primary residence.
4. Condominiums: Condominiums are eligible if they are FHA-approved. The entire condominium complex must meet the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) guidelines to qualify, not just the individual unit. For individual condominium units that are part of a condo complex not approved by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), there's a process known as "spot approval" or "single-unit approval" (SUA) that allows these units to qualify for a reverse mortgage under certain conditions.
