Reverse Mortgages
Summary
A reverse mortgage may be the best tool to allow seniors to "age in place."
Reverse Mortgages don't require a monthly payment, which means seniors can live out their retirement comfortably, improving cash flow and stretching out their savings.
There have been so many changes in the Reverse Mortgage loan that have benefited you, the borrower, since it's inception in 1989. Many of the myths you've heard of no longer apply.
