Can an illegal immigrant obtain a reverse mortgage?

i am a mortgage broker, i do not believe an illegal alien can obtain a mortgage at all. That is one of the questions on the "respa" documents in all mortgage applications. You are not a good risk for a bank; at any time you can be deported. * For the person to obtain a reverse mortage they would need to be a homeowner with equity. Therefore, it would seem logical that they should speak with their current mortgage lender.
