Reverse Focus Weekly Podcast Episode #319
In this week’s Reverse Focus podcast, Shannon Hicks discusses a recent NPR survey on “senior” preferred terms. Notably, NPR found many more terms were disliked than were favorable to the older adult population.
Hicks also talks about a recent report on the strongest and weakest housing markets. With many seniors relying on their home equity during retirement in the coming years, which are most likely to see the greatest appreciation on their homes?
Following several states’ recognition of same-sex marriages, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has issued new guidance on how lenders should work with marriages among same-sex couples. Tune in to the podcast for more information.
Lastly, Hicks reviews a recent National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association advisory reminding lenders of its ethics guidance around HECM-to-HECM refinancings. Following the recent shift in principal limit factor tables issued by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, NRMLA is restating its guidance with the expectation that some former HECM borrowers will now qualify for more proceeds under the new PLFs.
