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.
