Do you have to pay off debt to qualify for a reverse mortgage?
Do you have to pay off a student loan you cosigned for to qualify?
American Advisors Group | Phil Scott
No, you do not need to have paid off a student loan to qualify for a reverse mortgage. If you qualify for the reverse mortgage loan program, you must first pay off any existing liens on your home with the equity you release. However, once any liens are paid off, the remainder of the proceeds are yours to spend however you wish. You have the choice to pay off any debts not linked to your home, such as a student loan or credit cards. If you find you need to borrow more money at a later date, you may be able to do so, but you cannot use your property as collateral. Your reverse mortgage must be the only debt secured against your home.
