Ds offer a slightly higher yield than T-Bills because of the slightly higher default risk for a bank but, overall, the
likelihood that a large bank will go broke is pretty slim. Of course, the amount of interest you earn depends on a
number of other factors such as the current interest rate environment, how much money you invest, the length of time
and the particular bank you choose. While nearly every bank offers CDs, the rates are rarely competitive, so it's
important to shop around.
A fundamental concept to understand when buying a CD is the difference between annual percentage yield (APY)
andannual percentage rate (APR). APY is the total amount of interest you earn in one year, taking compound
interest into account. APR is simply the stated interest you earn in one year, without taking compounding into
account. (To learn more, read APR vs. APY: How The Distinction Affects You.)
For example, let's say that you purchase a $10,000 CD with an interest rate of 5% compounded
annually and a term of one year. At year's end, the CD will have grown to $10,500 ($10,000 * 1.05).
CDs of less than $100,000 are called "small CDs"; CDs for more than $100,000 are called "large CDs" or
"jumbo CDs". Almost all large CDs, as well as some small CDs, are negotiable.
1. Answers to your reverse mortgage questions Presented by Diane Quitmeyer <Rep Name> Reverse Mortgage
Consultant MetLife Bank 1
2. Would you like to live better today, and be more prepared for the future? A reverse mortgage could help... 2
3. What you should know • Reverse mortgages are an important financial option • Reverse mortgages can be an
important part of living with less worry and fewer restraints • It’s to your advantage to get all the facts so you can make an
informed decision 3
4. What is a reverse mortgage? A reverse mortgage can help many seniors with their financial needs: • A loan that allows
homeowners age 62+ to tap into their home equity • You can use the proceeds for what you need • It is not advisable to use
reverse mortgage proceeds to make a financial investment since the costs of the loan may exceed the investment return • You can
even use a reverse mortgage to purchase a home 4
5. Reverse mortgage facts • You continue to live in and own your home • The bank makes payments to you—that’s why
it’s called a “reverse” mortgage • You remain responsible for property taxes, homeowner’s insurance, and maintenance of the
home, but you do not make monthly mortgage payments • Your loan does not need to be repaid until the last borrower
permanently moves out or passes away • There are no income qualifications 5
6. Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) • The vast majority of all reverse mortgages are HECMs • Federally
insured—when the loan becomes due, HUD will pay the lender any shortfall between sale proceeds and amount owed • Variable
rates are tied to an established index—fees and interest rate margins are capped for your protection 6
7. HECM for Purchase • Designed to help you purchase* a home using the proceeds from a reverse mortgage on that
home • You can be qualified, regardless of income or credit history • One transaction with one closing simplifies the process
*Only applicable for the purchase of a 1- to 4-unit dwelling to be occupied as principal residence. 7
8. Who is eligible to apply? To qualify for a reverse mortgage, you must: • Be age 62 or older • Own your home—if you
have an existing mortgage, your reverse mortgage proceeds will first be used to pay off any existing mortgages • Live in your
home as your principal residence • Meet U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) minimum property
standards 8
9. How does the program work? • You choose how you want to receive your funds: – Single lump sum of cash –
Monthly income for as long as you live in your home or, if you prefer, for a specified time period – Line of credit you draw on as
needed – Any combination of these • Closing costs can be rolled into the loan • You continue to live in and retain the title to
your home while you use your reverse mortgage proceeds • When you leave the home, you or your heirs repay the loan,
including accrued interest on the money you took and accumulated monthly servicing and origination fees 9
10. How much can you get? The amount you can borrow depends on: • Your age • The type of reverse mortgage you
select • Current interest rates • Location of your home • Appraised value of your home • Federal Housing Administration
(FHA) lending limits 10
11. How can you use the funds? • Pay your monthly bills • Fix up your home • Pay for prescriptions and healthcare •
Retire your existing mortgage • Make a major purchase or needed expenditure • Travel • Help your children or grandchildren
However, it is not advisable to use reverse mortgage proceeds to make a financial investment since the costs of the loan may
exceed the investment return 11
12. What about your government benefits? • Reverse mortgage funds usually do not affect regular Social Security or
Medicare benefits • Needs-based benefits, such as Medicaid and Supplemental Security Income (SSI), may be affected • Contact
a tax professional about your particular situation 12
13. When does the loan become due? • All borrowers permanently move out of the home, or don’t live in it for 12 months
OR • You sell the home OR • You fail to pay taxes or homeowner’s insurance, or to maintain the home OR • The last surviving
borrower passes away 13
14. What about your heirs? • The loan can be repaid by selling the property, refinancing, or using other assets—the choice
is up to you or your heirs • Any sale proceeds in excess of the loan balance belong to you or your heirs • The lender can never
claim from you or your estate more than the fair market price received if you sell the home—even if the loan balance exceeds that
fair market value 14
15. A review of the facts • FACT: The bank will not own your home—you continue to be responsible for paying property
taxes, homeowner’s insurance, and any home maintenance • FACT: You do not need to make monthly mortgage payments—
interest accrues on the portion of the loan amount disbursed • FACT: There is no income qualification • FACT: Your Social
Security and Medicare benefits will generally not be affected 15
16. Required independent counseling • Ensure that you have the information you need to make the reverse mortgage
decisions that are right for you • HUD-approved counselors are available nationwide and locally —you can meet face-to-face or
receive your counseling by phone, it is your choice; you will be presented with a list of local and nationwide HUD-approved
