The National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association was established in 1997 to provide a variety for services for both those wishing to take advantage of reverse mortgages on their homes and lenders wishing to finance reverse mortgages. The National Reverse Mortgage Association has an educational program to aid senior citizens who have decided to take out a reverse mortgage as a way to remain financially independent The National Reverse Mortgage Association has also established a Code of Conduct to which it expects reverse mortgage lenders to adhere in their dealings with senior citizens; it also has a training program in which reverse mortgage lenders are encouraged to participate.
The National Reverse Mortgage Association oversees a program in which homeowners sixty-two and older can turn a percentage of their home equity into non-taxable income while still retaining title to their homes. The National Reverse Mortgage Association oversees the activities of lenders who make the reverse mortgage payments to the senior homeowners. The National Reverse Mortgage Association has the job of verifying the quality and professionalism of reverse mortgage lenders and assuring that they will be an asset to the communities in which they do business. The National Reverse Mortgage Association holds a series of annual conferences for its member lenders, so that they can remain educated in the latest reverse mortgage issues, products, and borrower concerns. For seniors who have been caught in the trap of dwindling IRA values, disappearing pensions, and rising health insurance costs, the idea of trying to survive in retirement on Social Security and little else may be devastating. A reverse home mortgage, from a lender who honors the Code of Conduct established by the Reverse Home Mortgage Association, could give them the secure retirement for which they are longing.
