Since the reverse mortgage industry saw big changes earlier this year, financial planners, retirement specialists, and lenders are collaborating more than ever before.  In an effort to ensure these revisions are thoroughly understood and appropriate solutions are offered to clients, a strong relationship between professionals is vitally important.

 

Because of these newly developed relationships, it appears a wonderful shift is taking place.  Reverse mortgage, once stereotyped as a product for poverty stricken widows or the like, is now being realized as a product of opportunity.  More and more we’re seeing affluent and middle class retirees utilizing this option to provide financial stability and financial freedom throughout retirement.  The industry has only begun to scratch the surface of those who would benefit or will discover the possibilities when tying a reverse mortgage into their retirement plans.

 

This paradigm shift will likely increase knowledge across the board regarding both traditional reverse mortgage loans and the reverse mortgage for purchase program.  Both products are available for seniors 62 and over, with minimal income and credit requirements.
