Frequently Asked Questions

What are the age and equity requirements for a reverse mortgage in Ames Iowa?
Borrowers must be at least 62 years old and own their home outright or have a low mortgage balance. The home must be your primary residence and meet FHA property standards. Iowa does not have additional state age requirements beyond the federal minimum.
Do I need counseling before getting a reverse mortgage in Iowa?
Yes, Iowa law requires all borrowers to complete a counseling session with a HUD-approved counselor before applying. This session covers loan terms, costs, and alternatives. The counselor must be independent of the lender.
What happens to the reverse mortgage if I move out of my Ames home?
If you move out of your primary residence for more than 12 consecutive months, the loan becomes due and payable. This includes moving to a nursing home or assisted living facility. You or your heirs must then repay the loan, typically by selling the home.
