The borrowers were recently retired, and now living on a fixed income.
They owned their home free and clear, and lived in a small town not too far from Dallas.
Both husband and wife decided they didn’t want to live their retirement years in their current home.
…they wanted to spend their retirement on or near a lake. …so, they found a house they liked on a near by lake for around $295,000.
They didn’t have the cash to buy the new home outright. …and, they didn’t really want to take on mortgage payments at this stage in their lives.
I suggested they use a Reverse Mortgage to purchase the home. Here’s how it worked…
They sold their current home and put down their proceeds from the sale as their down payment. Instead of getting a traditional mortgage to pay the difference between their down payment and the sales price – we used a Reverse Mortgage.
The result is they get to retire on a lake in a home worth twice what their old home was worth. They put down less than half the sales price. …and, they will never make another mortgage payment for the remainder of their lives!
Please shoot me an email or give me a call if you would like to explore how to use a Reverse Mortgage for you or someone you know.
That’s it for today!
Have a good day today! …and thanks for reading.
