A year and a half ago I inherited a 200k house with a reverse mortgage on it. In order to take possession I had to pay back the reverse mortgage loan as well as refinance to pay off the remaining balance. My father had a pretty low balance on it before taking out the reverse mortgage, so I was able to bring the balnce down to 20k at the time of refinancing. Anyway, I am planning on relocating and renting out the home. Since I am moving to a more expensive area of the country, I was intending to borrow 40-45k off the house in order to get established, and to keep as a financial cushion. I just learned that you can’t refinance a home that already has a refinance loan on it. Would that be true in my case? I also assumed that because I inheirited a home with a reverse mortgage on it, I fell more into the category of someone opening up a new mortgage.
I am 48. Does my name being on the deed prevent us from applying for the reverse mortgage?

Is there any way to negotiate the price if the house has a reverse mortgage?
A senior citizen who is sixty two years of age or above and has retired from active service is naturally insecure about his future in spite of well planned savings as the cost of living is ever increasing and what may be sufficient today may not be enough for tomorrow. However, if you are a house owner living in the United States, then you have the option of putting up your house as collateral and getting a suitable loan against it. The traditional forms of home loans require the borrower to repay the loan in monthly installments and at times also have restrictions on the manner in which the loan amount may be utilized. The biggest advantage for the homeowner is therefore, to opt for an annuity reverse mortgage on his or her house that will provide the maximum benefit on the loan money sanctioned to the borrower.
