Who are the top reputable companies offering a reverse mortgage?
Thank you can you expand upon what a younger spouse has to do to qualify as eligible none borrower and continue to live in the home if spouse over sixty two is no longer in the home, thank you so much
How do reverse mortgages compare to home equity lines of credit as a way to tap into the value of the house?
Still confusing, do you just designate the younger spouse under age sixty two as an eligible none borrowing spouse when you take out the reverse mortgage so if the older spouse passes away the younger spouse is protected and they continue to live in the home when older spouse passes away or goes to a nursing home. thanks
Can you explain and talk about the permanent line of credit growth and attractive features of line of credit with reverse mortgages
Do you know when eligible none borrowing spouse protections became available?
Where do we find information about eligible none borrowing none spouse protections to continue to live in the home?
Is the growing HECM LOC at risk of being eliminated?
Comparing the HECM to a proprietary reverse mortgage, what are the advantages (and disadvantages)?
how do we get your book
Isn't the proprietary cheaper than the HECM because there's no mortgage insurance premium?
Are any lenders writing home equity lines of credit or reserve mortgages on COOPS - nor condos?
reverse to purchase can you explain and talk about using the reverse mortage to purchase a home
I have been a financial professional for 41 years, and Wade is one ot the top 5-6 I refer clients to for reading articles, etc. by Wade!
Could you show and discuss line of credit slide
