Wealth transfer and preservation are not just for the rich. It is essential for anyone who wants to ensure that their loved ones benefit from their inheritance and not be burdened by it. Ensure your legacy is passed on to your beneficiaries, securing their future even when you’re gone.

This episode is a recording from a previous conversation about a local, non-profit organization, engaged in affordable housing and development based in Charleston since 1999 called PASTORS INCORPORATED (INC.). They had a Home Buying and Fair Housing workshop held last October 6, 2018, in Felix C. Davis Community Center, North Charleston Park Circle to help church and faith leaders acquire and develop their property for future development. Furthermore, PASTORS INC. focuses on both faith-based outreach and economic development and empowerment within the Enterprise Community and the Greater Charleston Community.

Learn more, and together with my brother, Rob Wilson Jr., and Mr. Fred Johnson, business partner, representing Pastors Incorporated (Inc.); If you are part of a church that is looking to get active in the government arena, we're not only doing housing, but we're getting churches to look at doing commercial projects, doing assisted living, retail shopping centers, anything that will provide revenues where the church is not dependent on passing the plate to pay your bill.

Remember: “We do not want to miss out on the opportunity to transfer wealth and keep wealth within our community”.

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.
