Reverse Mortgage is a scam for unjust-enrich US banks by US tax money

California House needs an investment from foreign bank/foreign people/ or any one.

Chinese/Japanese/Vietnamese Communist bank or person ....  welcome.

The market value of my house is $480,000-$500,000 mortgage balance $375,000.  I applied for reverse mortgage.  However, the HECM Housing Counselor said the only dis-qualification on my reverse mortgage application is that  it requires 50% equity.  I believe that Reverse Mortgage is really a scam for FHA to help the US bank because the bank lose nothing (or always benefit). FHA will pay the high interest/cost in bad situation by US tax money; whereas the homeowners may lose their houses or equity.  Why does such 50% equity requirement exist?  Why the FHA allows a 3.5% down payment for first time home owner, but cannot help  the same first time home owner who paid 25% value of the house for reverse mortgage?

I believe that reverse mortgage should be changed to an investment by both the bank/lender and the homeowner.  However, the US bank (with the help of FHA on current reverse mortgage policy) does not want to lose such benefit for the new idea of the investment.  

Therefore,  I need an investment from foreign bank/foreign people/ or any one.  Chinese/Japanese/Vietnamese Communist bank or person . . ..... welcome.

For example:  Foreign bank/person invests $375,000, the homeowner invest $105,000 (equity $480000-105000), no need for FHA or HUD.

My wife and I (both 63 yrs. old) will live in our house for the rest of our life, set an escrow withdraw money from my social benefit and pension ... to pay attorney fee, tax, maintenance, insurance …..  That means I pay all of the cost.

The house can be sold only when we die or if I failed my duty on tax, maintenance,…. or all parties agree to sell.   The ultimate selling price will be divided in proportion of the investment to the Foreign bank/person and my heirs. 

The Foreign bank/person  may have a lien on the house or other thing to secure their investment.

In a 2010 survey of elderly Americans,
48% of seniors would have to leave their home if they did not have a reverse mortgage
48% of seniors cited financial difficulties as the primary reason for obtaining a reverse mortgage

What the seniors want:
81% of seniors would like to stay in the home in which they are currently living for the rest of their lives. (Honest homeowner does not want  foreclosure, but the US bank want it?)
72% of seniors want to be able to pay all of their expenses while they are alive so their children and heirs do not have to worry about them.(Honest homeowner does not want cash withdraw, but the US bank encourages homeowner to do that for the US bank finally benefit)

Cordray said: “ … with 32 million baby boomers poised to enter retirement, the market for these reverse mortgages could rapidly grow.. “

*** Reverse mortgages have been criticized for several major shortcomings:
  • High up-front costs make reverse mortgages expensive. In the U.S., entering into a reverse mortgage will cost approximately the same as a traditional FHA mortgage.
  • The interest rate on a reverse mortgage may be higher than on a conventional "forward mortgage".[38]
  • Interest compounds over the life of a reverse mortgage, which means that "the mortgage can quickly balloon".[13] Since no monthly payments are made by the borrower on a reverse mortgage, the interest that accrues is treated as a loan advance. Each month, interest is calculated not only on the principal amount received by the borrower but on the interest previously assessed to the loan. Because of this compound interest, as a reverse mortgage's length grows, it becomes more likely to deplete the entire equity of the property.[13] That said, with the FHA-insured HECM reverse mortgage, the borrower can never owe more than the value of the property and cannot pass on any debt from the reverse mortgage to any heirs. The sole remedy the lender has is the collateral, not assets in the estate, if applicable.
  • Reverse mortgages can be confusing; many obtain them without fully understanding the terms and conditions,[38] and it has been suggested that some lenders have sought to take advantage of this.[39] A majority of respondents to a 2000 survey of elderly Americans failed to understand the financial terms of reverse mortgages very well when securing their reverse mortgages.[19] "In the past, government investigations and consumer advocacy groups raised significant consumer protection concerns about the business practices of reverse mortgage lenders and other companies in the reverse mortgage industry"[40] But in a 2006 survey of borrowers by AARP, 93 percent said their reverse mortgage had a mostly positive effect on their lives, compared with 3 percent who said the effect was mostly negative. Some 93 percent of borrowers reported that they were satisfied with their experiences with lenders, and 95 percent reported that they were satisfied with the counselors that they were required to see.[41]
