If you’ve ever wondered whether a reverse mortgage is a smart option - or you’ve heard conflicting opinions from friends and neighbors - today’s episode is a must-listen.
Juli is joined by Michael Pankow, Certified Senior Advisor, Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist, and national expert on reverse mortgages. He’s also a Board Member with the National Aging in Place Council, licensed in all 50 states, and served 12 years in the U.S. Armed Forces.
Michael and Juli dig into what a reverse mortgage actually is, who it’s best for, and the surprising ways families are leveraging home equity to age in place, plan for retirement, or create multi-generational homes that truly support their needs.
They also address the biggest misconceptions and share the consumer protections that now make this one of the most secure loan products available.
Whether you’re thinking ahead for yourself or helping aging parents navigate increasing costs and care needs, this episode will help you expand your options - and reduce the financial pressure so many seniors feel late in life.
What they cover:
• The simple explanation of what a reverse mortgage really is
• Need, lifestyle, and financial planning benefits of accessing equity
• Why today’s reverse mortgage protections are so different from decades ago
• How to use a reverse mortgage to stay in your home longer
• Solutions for multi-generational living + ADUs
• Divorce scenarios and caregiver support options you may not know exist
• How Social Security + Medicare eligibility factor in
• When a reverse mortgage isn’t a good idea - and how to know
• Michael’s personal story on why he cares so much about this work
Listen now - and feel empowered to ask better questions in your own planning.
