NGFS How To Avoid Or At Least Minimize The Problem
Be polite, but suspicious of the prospects estimated value of their home and
Option # 1.
.
Become familiar with the most recent sales (six months or less including foreclosures) of homes in the communities you are doing
.
Note - as many as 1,000,000 homes have been foreclosed on which is
considered a recent sale by the FHA rules governing appraisals.un severa scenar os or your prospec a eren va ues an ave a
plan of action that would enable them to proceed with each one.
Example run one at the value they believe is accurate, one at a 10% lower
benefit that can be provided by the reverse mortgage.
Then figure out how they might be able to come up with any potential shortfallfrom other assets (such as a policy loan from existing insurance) or possibly by

obtaining an unsecured credit line or loan that can be paid off quickly with themoney saved by paying off their existing mortgage.

NGFS Yet Another Way To Avoid The Problem
Is so simple that it is often overlooked and that is to change the profile of
Option # 2.
.
If you are in an area that has suffered from a dramaticdown turn in home values adjust your prospect profileto people who have a current mortgage loan to value ratioof no more than 30%-35% of the last known (or prospect
provided) home value.
Thus, even if the home value is as much as 33% less than the prospectthought it was worth, you will still be able to obtain sufficient funds from thereverse mortgage to pay off the existing one and improve your prospect -

NGFS In Conclusion
Its a changed environment that we are dealing with from just six months ago.
The two best ways to adapt is to both change the profile of those youconsider as first class prospects.
And appreciate the value of an interested prospect and thus invest a little
more time with them in the beginning to properly set up the case.
Make sure to explore all of the possibilities with them,even the less than ideal ones, so as to develop a planof action that your prospects agree will result in an
mprovement rom t e r current state an t us ecommitted too.
