You have to register either unaffiliated or with a party. I am a California voter and had this problem in 2008. We had a closed primary and I could register for any party but to vote for Ron Paul I had to be a Republican or an Independent.That was the state Republican party rule. However, California did not have Independent party registration. (the California Independent Party is not the same party).n 2008, the Republican Party decided NOT to allow independents to vote in their primary. Only those registered as Republicans could vote in that primary (although other parties, including the Democratic permitted independents to vote in their primaries).
The FHA, unlike other reverse-mortgage lenders, has a legal limit on how big an amount you can borrow against. The maximum home value that can be used for calculating the size of the HECM is $625,000, even if the home appraises for more, HUD states. According to the Mortgage Loan Place, you can borrow a maximum of 80 percent of the home's value, provided you're old enough to qualify for that much.
However, the reverse mortgage must be in a first lien position, so any existing indebtedness must be paid off. You can pay off the existing mortgage with a reverse mortgage, money from your savings, or assistance from a family member or friend. For example, let's say you owe $100,000 on an existing mortgage. Based on your age, home value, and interest rates, you qualify for $125,000 under the reverse mortgage program. Under this scenario, you will be able to pay off ALL the existing mortgage and still have $25,000 left over to use as you wish.
