retirement: Can I Get a Mortgage If I Am Retired? - 09/08/19 08:45 AM
Can I Get a Mortgage If I Am Retired?   I live in an aging county.  So if you ever find yourself vacationing in the lovely city of San Francisco, give this little exercise a try:  Simply get in your Uber.  Or rent one of those death trap three-wheelers at Fisherman's Wharf.  Or bundle up take it on the heel and toe and come across the iconic Golden Gate Bridge to magical Marin County.  Now, did you feel yourself getting older in the process?   Even if not, Marin County's residents, with their 46.1-year old median age, clean air, great schools and … (15 comments)

Retired.  But Not from Home Buying.
 
I live in an aging county.   Simply drive north across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco.  Did you feel yourself getting older? Even if not, Marin County's residents, with their 46.1-year old median age, will welcome you to one of the most special places in the USA.  I'm willing to bet it won't be too long before one of our residents will tell you that our median home price, at least at the end of 2017, is hovering right around $1,100,000.  So what happens when a retired person wants to buy a home in a high-cost … (14 comments)
