Minnesota Reverse Mortgage Lenders

Minnesota is the 22nd most populous state in the nation. Almost 60% of its residents live in the Twin Cities metro area (Minneapolis and St Paul). Target, UnitedHealth Group, 3M and General Mills are some of the well known corporations with headquarters in Minnesota. Only about 13% of the state's residents are age 65 or older. This is likely due to the cold winters that older people try to avoid. For those senior residents, a lot of them struggle with cashflow due to rising medical cost.

These seniors often have no choice but to look towards a reverse mortgage to help with their daily expenses.

HECM Requirements

• The primary borrower on the loan must be age 62 or older
• Complete a reverse mortgage counseling session.
• Must have enough equity in the property (typically this means owe no more than half of the value of the property)
• Property must be a single family home, townhome, HUD approve condo or certain manufactured homes. Co-ops are not eligible for a reverse mortgage.
