Essential Protections and Requirements for Oregon Reverse Mortgages
In Oregon, reverse mortgages are governed by federal guidelines and additional state-specific protections to ensure transparency and consumer confidence. For those considering a reverse mortgage, here are the key requirements and safeguards you should know:
- Mandatory HUD-Approved Counseling:
Oregon requires all reverse mortgage applicants to complete a HUD-approved counseling session before proceeding with the loan. This ensures borrowers fully understand the loan’s structure, benefits, and potential alternatives. A signed certificate must be presented to the lender before the application is finalized. - Protection Against Tied Financial Products:
Oregon prohibits lenders from requiring borrowers to purchase additional financial products, such as annuities, as a condition of obtaining a reverse mortgage. This ensures a fair and unbiased process. - Clear Disclosure of Tax and Insurance Responsibilities:
Borrowers are required to maintain their property taxes, homeowners insurance, and home maintenance. Oregon lenders must clearly disclose these obligations to prevent misunderstandings that could lead to foreclosure. - Cooling-Off Period:
Oregon provides borrowers with a mandatory waiting period before finalizing a reverse mortgage. This allows time to review loan terms and consult with trusted advisors or family members, ensuring a well-informed decision. - Licensed Loan Originators:
All reverse mortgage lenders operating in Oregon must be properly licensed and adhere to strict state standards for professionalism and transparency, giving borrowers confidence in the lending process. - Equity Safeguards Under Oregon Law:
Oregon protects homeowners by enforcing strict rules on equity preservation, ensuring borrowers retain control of their home’s equity and that reverse mortgage terms are clear and beneficial.
