HECM vs. Proprietary Reverse Mortgages: Which One Is Right for You? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ninety-five percent of the time, I talk about the FHA-insured reverse mortgage — the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage, or HECM. But this year, I've done more non-FHA, proprietary reverse mortgages than I have in the last five years combined. And I want to explain why. In this episode, I compare the HECM and proprietary reverse mortgages in plain language. I cover how they're the same — no required monthly payments, non-recourse protection, and the same five responsibilities — and then I dig into
Are Reverse Mortgages Expensive? A Cost Breakdown, Bucket by Bucket (opens the original)
Read excerpt
"Reverse mortgages are expensive." I've heard that more times than I can count over my 23-year career. Today, I take that claim apart piece by piece — and let you decide for yourself. To call anything expensive, you need something to compare it to. But a reverse mortgage is its own breed: it's the only mortgage that lets you live in your home for the rest of your life with never, ever a required monthly mortgage payment. So I walk through the three buckets of closing costs on the FHA-insured HEC
Aging in Place... or Not: Should You Stay or Should You Go? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Should I stay in my home as I age, or should I move to something better suited for the years ahead? It's a question almost nobody answers on purpose. Most people let it answer itself — until a fall, a health scare, or the loss of a spouse makes the decision for them at the worst possible time. In this episode, I walk through three good reasons to stay in your home and three good reasons to consider moving. I also explain why the timing of that decision matters just as much as the decision itself
Three Ways a Reverse Mortgage Can Build Financial Security (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Social Security's trust fund is now projected to run dry by 2032 — just six years away — which could mean benefits cut to 78% of what's scheduled. I'm not an alarmist, but that's exactly the kind of headline that keeps people up at night. The good news? There are things you can control, starting with the equity in your home. In this episode, I break down three ways a reverse mortgage can help build real financial security and peace of mind. First, the growing line of credit — a FHA-guaranteed cu
When $500,000 Isn't What It Used to Be: Inflation, Retirement Savings, and How a Reverse Mortgage Can Help (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Picture this: a couple retires in 2020 with $500,000 in savings. Five years later, they're 70 years old, and that half-million dollars doesn't stretch nearly as far as it used to. Colorado has been running at about 5% inflation, and the average household here has spent $60,000 more since 2020 just to maintain the same lifestyle. In this episode, I break down how inflation compounds against a fixed retirement income, why drawing from your portfolio during a down market can hurt you for years, and
