How can reverse mortgages be used to better secure retirement?

In the early days, reverse mortgages were generally treated as a last resort option after other resources were depleted, or as a way to obtain quick access to a large lump-sum of assets. This is not the appropriate way to think about reverse mortgages in a retirement income plan, especially in light of recent research.

The reverse mortgage option should be viewed as a method for responsible retirees to create liquidity for an otherwise illiquid asset, which in turn can create new options that potentially support a more efficient retirement income strategy (more spending and/or a greater legacy). Financial advisors must pay attention to their client’s home equity, as this is a vital asset that can be used as part of a coordinated strategy to improve retirement outcomes.

In "How to Use Reverse Mortgages to Secure Your Retirement" by Wade Phau, you will learn:

  1. An overview of retirement income planning, which sets the context for understanding the potential role of reverse mortgages;
  2. The basics for how reverse mortgages work;
  3. Potential uses for a reverse mortgage;
  4. Ways to coordinate the line of credit use with distributions from the investment portfolio;
  5. How to think about the reverse mortgage line of credit as a form of insurance to protect against market losses or declines in the home value.
