McCaskill wants protection for reverse mortgages
October 7, 2009 By
A new report suggests that the reverse mortgage industry might be heading down the same disastrous road that led the sub-prime mortgage industry into ruin. Senator McCaskill believes Congress can erect a roadblock.
The report from the National Consumer Law Center (NCLC) warns that senior citizens face some of the same aggressive pitches for reverse mortgages that became common in the sub-prime lending boom. The report claims that well-funded marketing campaigns target the equity in the homes owned by senior citizens. It also states that many of the same players in the sub-prime mess have moved into the reverse mortgage industry.
Senator McCaskill says a reverse mortgage can be appropriate in certain circumstances.
