Enhancing Lives with Reverse Mortgages

 

Learn how to enhance your retirement years through a reverse mortgage.  The reverse mortgage enables senior homeowners age 62 and older to convert their home's equity into cash.  There is no monthly repayment due on the reverse mortgage proceeds as long as the homeowner lives in the home.  Attendees will learn the variety of uses for a reverse mortgage, such as providing supplemental retirement income, paying off an existing mortgage to eliminate monthly payments, making home repairs, paying property taxes, and affording in-home help or long-term care insurance.

My Parents Need Help at Home

 

We all take pride in our homes but to the elderly a home can mean many things.  The home holds special memories of their family, the dining room table they worked so hard to buy, the flowers they spent so many summers to get them just so and it is where they feel most comfortable.  Much of our elderly population wants to stay in there home and age in place.  Learn the resources available to the elderly to help them safely remain in their home.
