Reverse mortgage information:
A reverse mortgage increases the principal mortgage loan amount and decreases home equity (it is a negative amortization loan).
Reverse mortgage loan terms include occupying the home as your primary residence, maintaining the home, paying property taxes and homeowners insurance. Although these costs may be substantial, AAG does not establish an escrow account for these payments. However, a set-aside account can be set up for taxes and insurance, and in some cases may be required. Not all interest on a reverse mortgage is tax-deductible and to the extent that it is, such deduction is not available until the loan is partially or fully repaid.
AAG charges an origination fee, mortgage insurance premium (where required by HUD), closing costs and servicing fees, rolled into the balance of the loan. AAG charges interest on the balance, which grows over time. When the last borrower or eligible non-borrowing spouse dies, sells the home, permanently moves out, or fails to comply with the loan terms, the loan becomes due and payable (and the property may become subject to foreclosure). When this happens, some or all of the equity in the property no longer belongs to the borrowers, who may need to sell the home or otherwise repay the loan balance.

This Online Privacy Statement (the “Privacy Statement”) explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect the Personal Information that we collect through our Services, and your choices about the collection and use of such information.
Throughout this Privacy Statement, we collectively refer to this Site and any services offered through it as the “Services.” When you use our Services, you agree that we may use and disclose your Personal Information as described in this Privacy Statement. If you do not consent to these terms, you should not use the Services or otherwise provide us with any Personal Information.
If you apply for a loan or another financial product or service with us, we may provide you with a separate notice that describes our practices with respect to the use and disclosure of the non-public personal information that we learn about you in the course of providing you with such Services (such information, “NPPI”), and which gives you an opportunity to opt-out of certain types of information sharing. To the extent that there is any conflict between this Online Privacy Statement and that notice, the notice shall control.
Please note that this Privacy Statement does not describe the practices of any other party that may have access to your Personal Information. To the extent that we provide your Personal Information to our agents or service providers, we will take what we believe to be commercially reasonable steps to ensure that they safeguard such information and use it only for the intended purposes. However, we are not responsible for the practices employed by any third party website that we may link to, nor for the information or content contained therein. We encourage you to review the privacy statements of such other websites to understand their information practices and terms of service.

We may use “cookies” to collect some of the preceding information. A cookie is a piece of data stored on a Site visitor’s hard drive to help us improve your access to our Site and identify repeat visitors to our Site. For instance, when we use a cookie to identify you, you would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our Site.
