It’s time for my next Senior Seminar and I hope you’ll be able to attend.
As many Seniors age, their home represents one of their biggest assets. Within the last few years on Oahu, the real estate market has been on the rise which has given many homeowners more equity in their properties. Many people look to their home equity to financially assist them through their "golden years". There are 3 options to get income from one’s home:
Sell it
Rent it
Borrow from it
With option #3 you can borrow from a home through a home equity line of credit or obtain a reverse mortgage. A Reverse Mortgage is a great way for Seniors to improve their lifestyle. It can be used to pay off bills and insurance, supplement your retirement income, do home improvements and pay for your long term care.
The next featured speaker to speak about aging in place and reverse mortgages will be:
Percy Ihara - Hawaii Sales Manager for Senior Lending Hawaii - Percy has over 25 years of mortgage experience of which the last 10 years as a Reverse Mortgage Specialist. His presentations and seminars are requested weekly by senior clubs, Rotary and Lion’s clubs, church groups and retirement organizations. Percy provides a wealth of information on Reverse Mortgages with regard to one’s financial independence and aging in place. He is committed to the mature market community with his public service as the Executive Producer and host of "Generations Radio". He is also the publisher/editor of Generations Magazine with goals to provide valuable and resourceful information for life. He will talk about the most frequently asked questions about reverse mortgages and how it can assist you to comfortably age in place in your own home. There is some confusion when it comes to this topic, but Percy presents it in a very simple, easy-to-understand manner. You will not want to miss this.
