Can you use a reverse mortgage for a purchase of a home and get down payment assistance?
Home Mortgage 7 Comments »This is the right question just answer without implying people asking do not understand. That is why there is a question.

What do you think is better? Buy a nice house with a mortgage or buy cash an old house, wait a few year, and save money?

A quick call to our lawyer who handled this told us that no assumption papers were signed. I know when I filled out the “so you want to file bankruptcy” paperwork that I checked that we wanted to assume our mortgage. Our lawyer said the following:
A) it wasn’t a big deal but nothing could be done now
B) the mortgage companies often don’t allow mortgages to be reaffirmed (essentially saying it was their fault)
C) we should seek other methods of rebuilding our credit.
Does any one know:
A) is it really no bid deal?
B) should I fight to determine who’s fault this really was?
C) is there anything that can be done to get our mortgage back in good standing?
Thanks
