What ever the age of your state is for signing a contract.

No. That would be discrimination.

Not sure…my mom got one when she was 60…I think as long as you’re credit worthy and have a steady income, you can get a mortgage.

No, it all comes down to debt to income ratio, and wether you can afford the payments. It is easier to get a home loan then a credit card or personal loan because if the applicant passes away, the house is there for resale.

Amazingly age is not an issue. A 90 year old can get a 30 year mortgage. Income, home value and credit rating are important issues along with cash on hand. Go for it!

No, there are many options available including stated income, reverse mortgages, 40 year mortgages, home equity loans, etc.
