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.
