David, they are popular with the homeowners, just not the kids!    This year I did a reverse mortgage purchase with some buyers --- never knew you could!

Great information for those thinking about a reverse mortgage. It isn't something I have worked with yet, but I have a feeling that will be changing!

David, So far I have not had to deal with a reverse mortgage.  I have no doubt it's coming.  I home I personally never have to resort to a reverse mortgage.  One just never knows what the future holds.  I know several in their late 70's that are utilizing the process in order to maintain the lifestyle they have been accustom to before retirement.

Joan, you are correct that this approach to finance is NOT popular with the kids. Thanks for visiting my post today.

Shannon, I have a feeling you are right - the tide seems to be changing. Thanks for coming by.

John, I hope I don't have to utilize this means of finance, too. Enjoy a great day!

David,

Reverse Mortage is an interesting topic. I like how you tackled the subject matter and provided a source of information.

When it comes to Real Estate, you're the best at what you do because you do everything so well and you know how to get answers. I don't know a lot about reverse mortgage, but I know one thing for sure, neither do the advertisers after midnight on television.

Reverse mortgages are not for everyone. We have one person in my office that handles them and I often hear him talking folks out of considering that option. It is really important to consult with someone knowledgeable, as these descions are extremely important.
