February 24, 2026 Reverse Mortgages Explained: Who They’re REALLY For | Featuring Nina Penny
🎙 Reverse Mortgages Explained: How They Work, Who Qualifies & When They Make Sense | Featuring Nina Penny
In this episode of Happy Hour with HatchMan, Braden Hatch sits down with reverse mortgage specialist Nina Penny to break down everything you need to know about reverse mortgages.
Reverse mortgages are one of the most misunderstood loan products in the housing industry. Many retirees, homeowners, and even real estate professionals don’t fully understand how a reverse mortgage works, who qualifies, or when it actually makes sense.
This episode clears that up.
What You’ll Learn:
• What a reverse mortgage is and how it works
• The difference between a traditional mortgage and a reverse mortgage
• What a HECM (Home Equity Conversion Mortgage) loan is
• Who qualifies for a reverse mortgage
• Age and equity requirements
• Reverse mortgage pros and cons
• How retirees use home equity to eliminate debt
• Reverse mortgage options for fixed-income homeowners
• Using a reverse mortgage for long-term care planning
• How reverse mortgages can help avoid selling the home
• Common myths and misconceptions
• When a reverse mortgage does NOT make sense
Who Is a Reverse Mortgage For?
Reverse mortgages are typically designed for homeowners age 62 and older who have significant equity in their home. For the right client, this strategy can provide:
Supplemental retirement income
Debt elimination
Cash flow improvement
Long-term care funding solutions
Financial flexibility without monthly mortgage payments
But it’s not for everyone — and we discuss why.
Why This Matters
With rising costs, inflation, and retirees living longer than ever, understanding how to responsibly use home equity in retirement is becoming more important. A reverse mortgage can be a powerful financial planning tool when structured correctly.
If you are a homeowner, have aging parents, are approaching retirement, or work in real estate or financial planning, this episode will give you clarity on whether a reverse mortgage is worth exploring.

January 09, 2026 AI, Automation, and the Future of Real Estate Marketing
Most real estate agents and loan officers know they should be creating content—but staying consistent feels impossible when you’re also trying to close deals and live real life.
In this episode, Braden Hatch sits down with Dustin Miller (aka PolyInnovator) to break down how modern professionals should actually be marketing in 2026.
They dive into the real systems behind sustainable content—how creators are using AI, automation, and smart workflows to publish across 11+ platforms without burnout, overwhelm, or becoming a full-time influencer.
This conversation will change how you think about marketing, consistency, and leverage—especially if you’re a Realtor or Loan Officer trying to stand out in a crowded, noisy market.
If content feels heavy, scattered, or unsustainable, this episode gives you a clearer path forward. 🎙 Happy Hour with HatchMan – Where No Topic is Off Limits! 🍻
