How should I spend my
money?
There are perhaps as many reasons to do a reverse mortgage
as there are senior
homeowners.
You may find the extra money obtainable with a Reverse Mortgage to be
of great benefit to your wants and needs. We
have had the honor of assisting seniors whose reason for getting a reverse
mortgage ranged from serious financial crisis to the whimsical.
For seniors from all walks of life the reverse mortgage is a life
changing event. Our clients and their families tell us that by eliminating
concerns about their finances they achieved incredible peace of mind. They
no longer go to bed at night worrying about, "What if." What if
the car breaks down? What if I need some home repair? What if my family is
faced with a crisis and needs my help? What if my health takes a turn?
The, "what ifs" turn into "wouldn’t it be
nice." Wouldn’t it be nice to eliminate my mortgage payment so
I can retire? Wouldn’t it be nice to spend more time traveling with my
friends or to see family? Wouldn’t it be nice to not have to worry about
gift giving at holidays? Wouldn’t it be nice to simply enjoy life a bit
more without the constant concern about outliving my money?
The following are only a few of the many ways seniors have used their
reverse mortgage proceeds:
- Eliminate a current mortgage
- Create additional monthly tax-free income
- Save a home from a foreclosure
- Pay for a personal or family emergency
- Pay off high interest debt
- Pay for home repairs and property taxes
- Fund in-home health care
- Fund premiums for Long-Term Care Insurance
- Purchase Life Insurance
- Provide a living legacy to children and grandchildren to help
purchase a home, go to college, or provide annual tax free gifts
- Use the home’s equity instead of drawing down taxable or higher
earning assets
- Use the tax free proceeds in my estate planning to increase my
wealth transfer, and reduce estate taxes
- Increase your tithe and other charitable giving
- Purchase a RV or vacation home
- Travel
- Attend more sporting events, the theater or the symphony
- Simply gain the peace of mind knowing you have cash available
whenever and for whatever reason you may need.
It's YOUR Home,
YOUR money, Enjoy it!
