DESCRIBING REVERSE MORTGAGE

Working of a Reverse Mortgage

In a reverse mortgage, it is actually the lender who makes payments to the homeowner instead of the homeowner making routine payments to the lender. Only the homeowner can choose the payment mode as well as the option of only paying interest on the proceeds received. 

 


The homeowner doesn’t need to pay anything up front because the interest is gelled into the loan balance. Additionally, the house stays under the name of the homeowner. The homeowner’s debt increases over time and home equity usually decreases, over the loan’s mortality.

 

For a forward mortgage as well as reverse mortgage, the home is supposed to be the collateral. After the death of the homeowner or if he decides to shift or move, the profits from the home’s sale go straightway to the lender who eventually has to pay off the reverse mortgage’s principal, interest, mortgage insurance, and fees. Taxes do not apply, on reverse mortgage proceeds. The Income Tax considers the money as a loan advance, while it might feel like income to the homeowner. The homeowner (if still alive) or the homeowner’s assets (if the homeowner has died) gets the sale revenue beyond the borrowed amount. In some situations, in order to keep the home, the heirs may choose to pay off the mortgage. 


Types of reverse mortgage: 


  • Single-purpose reverse mortgages: 

These kind of loans can only be used specifically for one purpose, which is beforehand specifically Stated by the lender. 

 

  • Proprietary reverse mortgages:

 

Such kind of loans are private loans which are carried forward by their particular parent companies. You may be applicable to get a bigger loan if you own a higher-valued home, advance with the help of a proprietary reverse mortgage. So you might qualify for more profitable funds, if your property has a higher appraised value and you own a small mortgage on it.

 

  • Home equity conversion mortgage or conversion mortgage:

 

Almost all of the reverse mortgages lenders are represented by HECM which have to offer on home values below $765,600 and it is the preferred type which you’ll get most likely.

 

No specific income is generally required for a HECM. However, when approving your loan, lenders must conduct a financial assessment. Your willingness and commitment to your obligations and the mortgage requirements is being evaluated by them thoroughly.

INFORMATION GAIN IN DECISION TREE THROUGH GINI INDEX

Image
Best suited for classification and regression problems, decision trees are supervised machine learning algorithms. These algorithms are constructed by breaking down the training data into subsets of output variables of the same class by implementing the particular splitting conditions at each node. The information gain in decision trees is directly formulated through training  into a hierarchical structure. The knowledge is holed and displayed by this structure  in such a way that it can easily be understood, even by non-experts. While building a decision tree,  each node focuses on identifying the attribute and a split condition on that attribute which minimizes the class labels mixing, because pure homogeneous subsets is not possible to achieve consequently giving relatively pure subsets. In this blog, we will discuss the concept of , information gain, gini index and gini index. With the root node of the decision tree, this process of classification begins and  ge...

WHAT ARE CONFOUNDING VARIABLES?

Image
  Confounding variable The variables that correlate in a positive or in a negative manner  with both the dependent variable and the independent variable are confounding variables or confounders. An external variable whose presence causes an effect in the variables which are being studied so that the results do not reflect the actual relationship between the variables under study is what we call a confounder. When no true association exists amidst them, confounding factors can mask the actual relationship between, or elaborates a supposed relationship falsely between the experiment and outcome.  Effect of Confounding Variables   During a research, until and unless some appropriate methods are employed to adjust the confounders, the existence of confounding variables makes it hard to study a research in order to make a clear-precise connection amid experiment and outcomes. Therefore, an individual has to reassure that all the confounding variables have been identified...
