As professional financial planners design retirement plans for their senior customers, using home equity should be addressed as part of the retirement and estate planning. Goslings
  • Is the client planning to remain in their home?
  • Do they currently have a mortgage payment? For how long?
  • Do they have other real estate assets in their estate?
  • Is there a benefit to using the equity to increase tax free cash flow?
  • Do they have long term care insurance?
A reverse mortgage is designed to help homeowners aged 62 and older remain in their homes as well as maintain or improve their quality of life in retirement.  Reverse mortgage loans are non-recourse loan that unlock home equity and convert it into tax-free income.

Important Information: Reverse Mortgages are neither "endorsed" nor "approved" by the Federal Government. The FHA (Federal Housing Administration) provides certain insurance benefits for lenders and borrowers in connection with the lender’s HECM loans; the FHA does not make or originate loans. The owner(s) retain title to the property that is the subject of the reverse mortgage until the person sells or transfers the property and is therefore responsible for paying property taxes, insurance, maintenance and related taxes. Failing to pay these amounts or failure to maintain the condition of your property may cause the reverse mortgage loan to become due immediately. A reverse mortgage is a complex loan secured by your home. Whether such mortgage makes sense for you depends on your financial situation and needs. For these reasons, we strongly recommend that you consult with a qualified independent housing counselor, family members and other trusted advisers before making this decision.
