What is a reverse mortgage?
A reverse mortgage is a crafty tool that really is pure genius.
With a traditional mortgage, you pay loan installments to the bank.
But with a reverse mortgage, the bank pays you!
That’s right, you get to live in the house you own and are paid for the privilege.
Here’s how it works.
First, you need to be at least 62 years of age and have equity in your home.
A reverse mortgage then allows you to unlock that equity and steer it straight back into your pocket.
It is perfectly suited for seniors who own their home but are struggling to find enough cash to live their lives to the fullest.
The best part is that as long as the terms of the loan are met, there is no need to repay it until either the homeowner sells the residence or the last surviving borrower passes away.
Homeowners can access funds in many different ways including a very handy line of credit, monthly installments, a lump sum or even a combination of all three.
It gives them peace of mind and freedom from the spectre of having to sell their home and downsize.
They can then splash their cash on home renovations, vacations – whatever their hearts desire.
Housing prices in Phoenix have doubled in the last eight years. The average Phoenix property is now valued at $411,139 (https://www.zillow.com/home-values/40326/phoenix-az/)*.
More and more Phoenicians are taking advantage of reverse mortgages with 2,883 in the area already owning one while 157 have acquired one in just the last 12 months*.
About Phoenix, Arizona
Phoenix was named by one of its early English settlers, Lord Darrell Duppa, who believed the new town would spring from the ruins of a former civilization.
In many ways, he has been vindicated with the Pueblo Grande ruins evidence of an ancient irrigation system suggesting the area was once inhabited between the years 700-1400 AD.
Phoenix became the capital of Arizona in 1912 and five Cs became the cornerstone of its economy – cotton, corn, citrus, copper and climate.
It is the fifth-most populous city in the country.
Until 2024 when the Coyotes were suspended and the franchise adopted by Utah, Phoenix was one of just 13 cities in the United States with sporting teams in four major professional sports leagues.
But it remains a key center on the sporting stage with MLS’s Phoenix Rising FC, the Phoenix Golf Open and Arizona Tennis Classic.
Much of that relevance is due to its dubious reputation as one of the hottest places in America with around 100 days per year reaching 100°F.
Coined ‘The Valley of the Sun’ nearly a century ago, its dry, hot climate has also made it a tourism Mecca, driven primarily by its 200 plus golf courses.
