Either you guys don't understand what Im saying or I am not explaining it properly.... If Tom Cruise was selling Reverse Mortgages....he would get a phuck Tom.... Its when you use your fame to sell a product that is basically a rip off to unsuspecting people that trust the actor because he was such a good boy in Magnum PI. Phuck Tom.... and Im done trying to explain it to you guys.... I need to get back to work before I need a reverse mortgage

Yes she would lose her home.... Again for the 4th time....if it worked for your neighbor thats wonderful.... Im talking about the other 9 out of 10 that get screwed.
I have the unique experience to have sat for 2 hours at a bar with a very pretty woman in Chicago who sold 3 reverse mortgages that day and came down to the hotel lobby bar to celebrate. She bragged that the people really didn't have a clue what they were signing.... She was so beautiful that if she pulled out a reverse mortgage right there I would have signed it. She explained that they were a team and went to different areas around chicago and beyond ....stayed at nice hotels and canvased all day... you could just tell she was very good at her job...ripping people off

I get it, you care about how the actors are off screen. My point was I don't, still don't. Not sticking up for anything anyone is pushing on any commercial, period. In fact if I see something on tv, I automatically assume that it is complete BS. I also think most actors are complete a'holes, so why would I care what they think. Same for musicians that speak to politics, just because your famous doesn't mean I agree with you or think that you know anything better then I do.
Tv, music, they're just entertainment. Keep doing what they do best, but it doesn't mean I want their advise or would listen to them out of there current context. Speak to being an actor or musician, I'm all ears.

I agree with that inasmuch as I won't eat it either for the same reason.
I do think though, that "any" may be to broad a term if allowing for all possibilities.
There was a time many years ago when I honestly believe mine would have tasted like Jim Beam.

Ok JayHawk, back to Tom . . .
Blueone, I was really at a loss to understand how or why you gained such distaste for reverse mortgages. I'm no Tom Selleck fan, but I don't share your distaste for him either.
Now it becomes a little more understandable on both counts.
I may be over optimistic, but I'd like to think that all Reverse mortgages are not based on 50% of a homes worth. Could very well be the case, given the gullibility of the population at large. I could easily see where there could be instances here such an arrangement could be a God Send (as was pointed out already). I'd also like to think that someone who had lived long enough to already have paid of a home, would have enough savvy to avoid putting themselves in a predatory situation and/or believing everything they see on the damn TV. Time has already shown that is not the case across the board though. Which spawns the question: If 81 million people really voted for a potato, how many will ultimately acquire a predatory reverse mortgage?

I'm glad that you finally shared this info.

@Yendor …. I don’t take hate lightly…. I actually called Tom’s company and applied for a reverse mortgage. I had the contract in my hands. All I had to do was sign it for my $850k paid off house. The money they offered was just over $400k. You need to own a house to apply so I can’t speak for other people or home values with mortgages. My guess is it would be a lot less then 50% since they have to pay off the mortgage
Back to my point again …. If reverse mortgage is your thing ….. knock yourself out…. The fact Tom uses his fame to dupe people is a disgusting way to make a paycheck when the phuckr doesn’t need the money

According to CBS News...
The value of your home is one of the biggest factors in how much you can borrow with a reverse mortgage. Generally speaking, you can usually get somewhere between 40% to 60% of your home's appraised value. And the higher your home value is, the more money you can potentially access.

When we ran an amortization schedule for our house with a 30-yr fixed mortgage — 25 years ago, with 3% apr — the cost of the loan (total of the interest to be paid) was nearly the mortgaged amount. Reverse mortgage for 50% of the value of the home doesn’t seem too far off.
