WONDERING HOW TO RETIRE COMFORTABLY?

Hi guys! I’m teaming up with a lender Kathlene Carney of NEXA Mortgage whose expertise is in Home Equity Conversion Mortgages or HECM (“heck-um) to offer educational meetings on Senior Housing Options in the North Bay. The majority of us Boomers have a lot of equity in our homes, but not a lot of income. And most of us won’t qualify for a traditional mortgage after retirement.

So, what are the options to minimize expenses and breathe a sigh of relief?

• Downsize to a 55+ community (can be a lot less expensive than buying a traditional house)…we’ll explore why, the pros and cons
• What is independent senior living versus assisted senior living?
• Use a HECM to pay off an existing mortgage
• Use a HECM loan to buy your next house
• How to qualify for a conventional mortgage.

These educational workshops are free and we promise, no pressure.

We’re scheduling appointments on July 22 and July 31. Call for times. You’ll have a personal 30 to 60-minute consultation tailored to your specific concerns, via Zoom or in our office. Email or call me for details, Margaret.Kapranos@BHHSDrysdale.com or
