How are interest rates for the Reverse Mortgage determined?
For The Federal Housing Administration’s Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (which makes up the vast majority of reverse mortgages) you will be given a choice between a monthly adjustable rate and an annually adjustable rate. The rates are set and capped by Fannie Mae with a set margin over the one-year U.S. Treasury rate for monthly adjustable and a slightly higher margin above the one-year U.S. Treasury rate for annually adjustable rates.
