Reverse Mortgages Are They Safe for Your Parents? What You Didn't Know Could Help.

I’m guessing you’ve seen some of those older actors, in TV ads, promoting reverse mortgages.  One of whom got jammed up as the firm he was representing was pursued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau over concerns that they were misleading seniors. 

Even I became skeptical, afterward, on this subject.  However, my guests, Peter Tourigny and Jason Nightingale, shed some light on this topic in our next discussion, including:·      

  • How they work
  • Who can benefit and who won’t
  • Related costs (yes, there are costs!)
  • Tax-related issues - there are some good things here
  • How mandatory counseling with a third party works
  • The amount that someone can get out of their home
  • And a lot more. 

This is a power-packed episode that will help arm you and your parents with a list of questions to ask before you make any reverse mortgage decisions with or for your parents, or even yourself. So, tune in to this direct, to-the-point, discussion.

Myths and realities of reverse mortgage notes, and if they're part of the answer to your care cost challenges.
