A new report from Reverse Mortgage Daily aims to help make the decision a bit easier with some insight from Christina Harmes, assistant manager of the C2 Reverse division of C2 Financial Corp in San Diego, California.
"If they are a younger reverse borrower, have a large mortgage to pay off and really would prefer a low fixed rate they will often choose a HECM," said Harmes, according to the report.
"In situations like planning for the cost of future care, the HECM is the most often-chosen option as they may want a tenure payment or the growth feature of the HECM’s line of credit."
