In general, there is 4 years of college, followed by 4 years of  medical school, followed by 3 to 5 years of residency.   There are a few programs that combine college an â¦ d medical school to  6 or 7 years (depending on the program) instead of the 8 years.  A lot of school, but if it is your passion, well worth it!! You  need a medical degree, plus a residency in pediatrics. There are a few programs that combine college an â¦ d medical school to  6 or 7 years (depending on the program) instead of the 8 years.

You must own your home. For some reverse mortgage loans you must be at least 60 years old and for others you must be at least 70 years of age and have a low income. Note: For FHA reverse mortgages (HECM), you must be at least 62 years old. Your home must be your primary residence; you must live in it for more than half of the year.
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.
