Thank you for posting this @Herndon Davis. I originate reverse mortgages since about 2007, and I need an orientation to how to work with lenders that are not as regulated as I am.

Thank you for reporting this. I need inspiration and you provided it and I will think of it as I pursue my first investment transaction. Learning every day

I am in Colorado and am very new to investing, but have been involved in the mortgage business for many years. My suggestion is to practice running the numbers, use the BP calculators, and become as familiar as much as you can in order to be ready to confidently answer the question, "is this a good deal?" Congratulations on saving and working to build credit.

Hello Keleisha,

I am new to the processes involved with investing, but I have been closing reverse mortgages for a broker since 2007 with the same company. In my experience, you will want to be comfortable working with the lender so, for example, I would search until you find the lender that takes the time to explain things until you both clearly are on the same page and you are not overwhelmed. At the moment I feel overwhelmed with the investor category of things, and I am just starting to introduce myself mainly to newer persons to get used to how to interact regarding these subjects and like I mention above, I will no doubt proceed with persons with whom I am most comfortable. Especially with our return customers, I find that we are often told that they choose to do business with us because they feel comfortable with how patient we are when setting their expectations.

Hoping this is useful information,

Doug
