Frequently Asked Questions

What are the eligibility requirements for a reverse mortgage in Jersey City?
Borrowers must be at least 62 years old and own their home outright or have a low mortgage balance. The property must be a primary residence, such as a single-family home, HUD-approved condo, or manufactured home. New Jersey law also mandates a counseling session with a HUD-approved counselor before application.
How does New Jersey law affect reverse mortgage proceeds?
New Jersey does not tax reverse mortgage proceeds as income. However, borrowers must continue paying property taxes and homeowners insurance. The state offers a property tax deferral program for seniors, which can be used alongside a reverse mortgage to reduce out-of-pocket costs.
Can a reverse mortgage be foreclosed in New Jersey?
Yes, if the borrower fails to pay property taxes, maintain insurance, or keep the home in good condition, the lender can initiate foreclosure. New Jersey law requires lenders to provide a notice of default and a 30-day cure period before foreclosure proceedings begin.
