In the early 1980’s the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging released a report citing the need for a standardized reverse mortgage program and uniform lending practices. In 1987, Congress passed the FHA insurance bill that would allow HUD to insure reverse mortgages through the FHA. Shortly thereafter, President Reagan signed the FHA Reverse Mortgage bill into law.
Over the past 25+ years, reverse mortgages have consistently grown in popularity due to borrower safety, government protections and common sense financial decision-making. Many seniors employing a reverse mortgage are free to enjoy a retirement without monthly mortgage payments or other financial concerns.
