You are probably looking at this article because you have seen some information about a reverse mortgage and now you are trying to get more information. If the calculators are simple to use, why would anyone need to know more about them? You are right; they are simple and so is the answer. Just by knowing a few facts you will keep being mislead.

1. Using the reverse mortgage calculator on your own is ok, but remember there are considerations that will vary the amount of money available to you. Keep in mind that they only give you an estimate.

2. If you have a good loan officer, they can waive the origination on some of the programs. While this option won't show on most calculators, this can be a huge benefit.

3. Which loan program should you choose? There are several choices available, and knowing which one is right for you is sometimes confusing. Picking the correct program is extremely important, if you want to get the most from your reverse mortgage.

Nobody likes to be bothered by a salesperson when you are shopping around for information. But a time comes when using a knowledgeable loan officer is paramount in the decision making process.
