April is here and so is spring! Many people take this month to begin their "spring cleaning". During this time, homeowners, especially seniors, often take time to evaluate where they live. Are you living as close as you want to your family and friends? Is your home still the right size and location you want it to be? Now might be a great time to investigate some of your options as you evaluate your living situation.
This month, I wanted to share an article, "10 reasons you should use a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage for Purchase loan for your next home purchase". This resource takes a deep dive into the distinct advantage a HECM for Purchase (H4P) loan has for seniors 62 and over to bridge the gap between cash purchases and traditional mortgages.
I have also added some testimonial videos for you to watch. Many of these seniors are experiencing the very same thing you or maybe someone in your friend group or family might be (CLICK HERE to view all our testimonials). However, take a few minutes to watch one specifically about our Home Equity Conversion Morgage for Purchase loan.
I would love an opportunity to meet with you and help you discover if a HECM loan is right for you. Let's connect and schedule a no-obligation consultation meeting online or in person.
Have a wonderful month!
