I speak to families of seniors who are interested in a reverse mortgage frequently and they often get concerned when their parents are taking out a reverse mortgage because they think that in doing so they are spending their inheritance. Those concerns are largely unfounded, especially if the reverse mortgage is used strategically and proper estate management is in place. It actually can be a benefit and certainly can beat the alternative of wiping out the IRA. The typical Boomer may have between $750,000 and $2 million of net worth at retirement; they primarily rely on investments in their 401(k) or rollover IRA; and their homes are mostly paid off. First and foremost they want reliable cash flow, meaning they want enough funds to last them through retirement. Second, they also want to retain a financial cushion for any emergency. Third, they want to pass assets onto their heirs and beneficiaries. Research has shown that using a reverse mortgage can significantly enhance the success rate of a retiree's portfolio, especially using a reverse mortgage line of credit earlier in retirement as opposed to using one as a loan of last resort. For a retiree who wants to downsize into a smaller home, using a Reverse Mortgage Purchase Loan will keep more of the cash from a sale by about 50%. This can help them achieve their three retirement objectives while preserving their securities portfolio for many more years and provide a favorable deduction to the heirs following the death of the reverse mortgage borrower. Planning is the key and understanding the options and can only be appreciated by having a personal illustration of the individual plans, loan programs and dollar amounts available for each person. It's usually not what you think. It's much better!
