If there's a retirement product out there that has gotten a bad rap because of unmet expectations, it's the reverse mortgage. Therefore, it's my plan to help you better understand what you can expect from a reverse mortgage, so you can make a better decision on whether or not a reverse mortgage is the right product for your retirement. When you hear the word reverse mortgage, what comes to your mind? For many of you, it may be the thoughts that it's just a program created to steal your home. And then for others, you might be thinking how grateful you are for your reverse mortgage, because it has helped you have a more safe and secure retirement.
