If you have received a Reverse Mortgage then you have paid off all other mortgages on your home.

You may wish to contact your RM lender and discuss Reverse Mortgage refinancing. Depending on when you originally did your Reverse Mortgage and the terms you secured, this may indeed be a good time to refinance.

Lending limits are higher now than ever before and interest rates are still low.

The only potential issue may be that your house value may be down.

Refinancing your FHA Reverse Mortgage is an option depending on your current situation. We have a reduced fixed rate of 5.56% for a limited time which will help also.
