In this episode, Alex and Trent had the chance to learn about the world of Reverse Mortgages with Ian Murdock. Ian is a loan officer who work in the same branch as Alex, he also happens to be the man when it comes to reverse mortgages. This is a completely different focus than normal mortgage business so it was awesome to hear him out. Listen in to hear how the media has a large influence of painting this product negatively when in reality it is a very handy product. If you know anyone at the age of 62, then reach out to Ian and let him know you came from our podcast, he will love it!
