Ed Talk 2:Adding Housing Wealth to a Retirement Income Plan

 

Retirement planning has traditionally excluded housing wealth, however, with rapidly appreciating home values, and the need to plan for longer lifespans, more advisors are taking a fresh look at reverse mortgages. In this class we will explain how a reverse mortgage works including eligibility, costs, misconceptions, and safeguards. We will then review case studies of using it to supplement asset distribution strategies, manage long term care risks, facilitate Roth Conversions, delay social security and other tax deferred distributions, fund legacy strategies and much more.
