I’ve written about this before, but we have more and more people passing the age 62 threshold, so I wanted to show you how to buy a house with a reverse mortgage.
I had a borrower that was 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.
Their home was worth around $150,000.
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!
So, if you or someone you know may benefit from this – please reach out to us. We would love to help!
That’s it for today!
Thanks for reading!

I had this situation come up again last week, and I wanted to address it…
One of the most important things you will have to do when you apply for…
I wanted to remind you that we have a 2% to 5% downpayment and closing…
If you receive money from the State or a County sponsored organization for providing foster…
Do you have investment property, and would like to pull cash out of your property?…
I wanted you to know about a mortgage program that doesn’t require any income documentation…
