We are seniors 71 and 75 yes old.......
We are seniors 71 and 75 yes old.......
In the last few years we kind of got ourselves in a financial bind......I talked about a reverse mortgage w my husband and NO WAY WOULD HE GET A REVERSE MORTGAGE !!!!
However we were at a pool party last summer in Hamilton .........I did home daycare out of my house years ago and this pool party was some of my former charges.....
One of the fellas was a mortgage person so it happened that I asked him if he knew anything about reverse mortgages and he did and gave us the name of his father in law who does them......
We had a online interview with him......after ALL of the reasons my husband had about reverse mortgages......he listened and by the end of our appt he agreed...
I think knowing someone in reverse mortgages helped us.....Todd wouldn't screw us around.....
The worst part of it was we are not techy so face to face we would have liked better...
We were approved ..got OUR money... .they paid all out bills and the heaviest in my chest was gone... ... ... .

ln June I am going to be 91 years old
ln June I am going to be 91 years old. I clicked on line, about reverse mortgages, and someone call me in a few days from Toronto.
When my son talked to his mtge broker , and was told they could do the same from their office in Burlington
As my husband and I bought our lot in 1950, built our house with cash, never got a mortgage for it
I decided to go for a reverse mortgage I am not in need of the money personally but with real estate values so high decided to place a reverse mortgage on my property, for inheritance purpose.
It was like swimming in mud for me with several hick=ups along the way. The interest fees on the large amount are quite shocking to me. Its like the mortgage Co. is sitting across from me with a gun on their lap. BUT it is not loaded
Sincerely June Bennett
