about reverse mortgage

The summer home or a rental home.

Once again I would like to open your minds a little to the possibilities with a reverse mortgage.

The concept of a reverse mortgage as simply a negative amortization loan on a senior citizen’s home is a very narrow mindset.  At 62 years of age I hope to still be seeking out additional sources of income as well as a better life for my family and me.

A reverse mortgage is a way to make sure that my home is safe and sound, and tied to me at the hip for the rest of my life.  Now that I have accomplished that, lets see what I can do with the equity that I have unlocked.

I can leave it in the credit line to insure growth in the value of my home….OR….I can use it to meet my goals.  If I find that perfect vacation property on sale, and the price is less than my credit line, I just might pay cash for it.  That way I have two homes, both locked to me for life (no mortgage payments), and my lifestyle has just improved dramatically.  

If I am still worried about generating more monthly income, I might look for a local rental property instead of the vacation home.  This way I would have two homes, with no mortgage payments, and a rental income.

Better yet, why not get the best of both worlds.  I just might find that vacation home in a great location, and start renting it out on a weekly basis to vacationing families.  That way I would have two homes, no mortgage payments, vacation property rental income and a couple of weeks of the vacation property set aside for our family.

Life is great.
