If you are seriously dedicated to personal growth and prosperity as a reverse mortgage specialist, consider making the investment to join National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association (NRMLA).

NRMLA provides a national voice for lenders, loan servicers, third-party vendors and investors engaged in the reverse mortgage business. In that capacity, NRMLA educates consumers about the pros and cons of reverse mortgages, trains lenders to be sensitive to clients' needs, enforces our Best Practices and Code of Ethics, and promotes reverse mortgages in the news media.

Membership in NRMLA entitles you to the following benefits:

Complimentary listing(s) on ReverseMortgage.org. Each day, NRMLA receives an estimated 2,000 unique visits to our web site, ReverseMortgage.org, from consumers who want to learn about reverse mortgages and locate a lender who can assist them. Seniors, especially, prefer working with a lender that abides by our strict Code of Conduct and Best Practices. As a result of the traffic generated, members tell us this "virtual" presence offers a solid source of business.

Learn While-U-Lunch. The "Learn While-U-Lunch" program is a Members-Only conference call held the second Tuesday of each month to discuss topics beneficial to the growth of your business. (Note: Each program costs $25 or you can purchase 6- and 12-month package deals at a discount.)

The Monday Report. Published every other Monday, The Monday Report is an e-newsletter covering market trends, senior issues, legislative and regulatory updates, and other NRMLA activities.

Reverse Mortgage magazine. Receive our print newsletter featuring in-depth stories on management and marketing issues, business trends, and other useful topics. Back issues of Reverse Mortgage and our original newsletter, Reverse Mortgage Advisor, can be downloaded by clicking here.

NRMLAOnline.org. In addition to our consumer site, NRMLA maintains NRMLAOnline.org as an informational resource for members. HECM statistics, FHA Mortgagee Letters, press releases, confidential memos, back issues of our newsletters, and other helpful links are posted.

Committees. NRMLA maintains nine committees that you are eligible to participate, including: Congressional Relations, HUD, State & Local Issues, Professional Development, Technology, Consumer Issues, Product Development and Capital Markets, Strategic Relations and Standards & Ethics.

Political advocacy. Through our Reverse Mortgage Working Group, NRMLA works with HUD to make enhancements to the FHA reverse mortgage program. We have also forged strong ties with members of Congress to help shape federal policy beneficial to the growth of our industry.

Consumer Booklets. NRMLA has developed informational booklets—including Just the FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions About Reverse Mortgages—that members can purchase at a discount to distribute to prospective borrowers. NRMLA also distributes thousands of copies each year directly to consumers who request information.
