Hi everyone
I have a question sort of on behalf of my parents because I really want to help them in their current situation. They are currently renting but looking to buy a home soon to live in for retirement. I was wondering if being on the wrong side of the hill (don’t mean to offend anyone here just having a little fun[]) will affect how long the loan term will be for, or can they still take out a 25 or 30 year loan.
Thanks everyone!
Oh by the way they are around 50 or so, I won’t say exactly or i’ll be in trouble! []

Its my understanding that no lender can say no to a mortgage based on the potential mortgagee’s age. They have to find another reason. Thank our political correct times.
i.e. if an 80 year old came in wanting a 30 year mortgage they cannot reject the mortgage based on age.
I’m 47 and have 2 mortgages which will both mature in my 70’s. Bank was very keen to lend too.

Just curious though, so if the financial lender say yes to someone who is 80 years of age… How will Mortgage Insurance work, will there loan still be payed out if they pass on… before the loan is payed off and matured… and if they do manage to get a loan at 80, is the loan split between someone younger or carried out on there own…
Just interest to know how it would work out…
I do know if your apply for a loan say of $300 on a +ve cashflow property and you age 60 and the term of the loan is over 30 years, but you have say $500,000 in cash money in the bank… there is no problem… but curious if it was the other way and you didnt have the finanical money in the bank to back you up.
