Today, we are joined by Abby Waltz with the Homes For Heroes program, a program that was born out of generosity, caring, and really wanting to do the right thing by our heroes. It started way back in 2002, just after the tragic events of 911 had occurred. And that unifying theme of it all brought our founders together and made them want to find a way to be able to give back to the heroes that they were so inspired by seeing their horrific actions.

So if you belong to those five main groups that we serve, and you come to one of our real estate specialists or mortgage specialists all over the country, you are going to be getting discounts or hero rewards checks. Regardless of where you are, it doesn't matter what loan products that you're using, this is just our way to give back and say, "Thank you for all that you do, to serve and build up the communities that we're helping to establish your own home."

Imagine waking up with no mortgage payment. Does it sound like a castle in the sky? A reverse mortgage allows our retirees to enjoy the remaining days of their lives without getting stressed in paying the large monthly mortgages for their homes.

Today’s guest is an expert and a true professional from Mutual of Omaha Mortgage. No other than Jerry Garner, also known as “Home Equity retirement specialist”.  He is a loan officer for 20 years.  He graduated from East Carolina University, majored in business, and spent most of his professional career in the conventional traditional mortgage world. In 2004, he was relocated back here in Charleston, where he lived on James Island, and started working specifically with baby boomers and retirees. He helped find the right house for someone and allowed our retirees to age in place.

Staying in your own home as you get older is called "aging in place." These are common issues for older people. With  Home Equity Conversion Mortgage or HECM, aka reverse mortgages, older people age 62 years of age or older, help them refinance their homes into the reverse mortgage and eliminate the monthly payment. The Home Equity Conversion Mortgage was created in 1988 by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), a government program that's been in 30 years.

Creating opportunities in real estate could be challenging and risky. Despite abundant advertisements claiming that real estate investing is an easy way to build wealth, it is in fact a challenging business requiring expertise, planning and focus. It is important for real estate investors to approach their real estate activities as a business in order to establish and achieve short- and long-term goals.

In addition, because the business revolves around people, investors benefit in the long run by operating with integrity and by showing respect to associates and clients. Though it may be relatively simple to earn short-lived profits, developing a long-term real estate investing business requires skill, effort, and patience.

In this episode, Corwyn shared some methods on how to capitalize and focus on every opportunity that you meet and make the most out of it. Real estate investing can be complicated and demanding, and a solid plan can keep investors organized and on-task.
