Methodology:

At RMCases.com, we strive to provide practical and applicable reverse mortgage strategies to the public. Our series of case studies is the central part of our mission. Yes, these are real-life examples. However, keep in mind the following:

  1. Privacy – Although the study reflects real scenarios, personal information will never be disclosed in these case studies. The names being used are randomly generated.
  2. Numbers – The figures shared in the study are accurate and rounded to the nearest hundred for simplicity. 
  3. Results – The results obtained from a reverse mortgage vary based on numerous factors, such as eligibility, market conditions, specific program types, and individual circumstances.
  4. Professional – If you decide to apply or advise others to apply, clarify that these case studies should not serve as a baseline for their “loan numbers.” Consult a professional to come up with a game plan for you.
  5. Tailor-fit ApproachEvery execution plan is customized based on the individual’s unique circumstances. I suggest you find a case study that best mirrors your situation, then study the strategy implemented to accomplish the end goal. 

If you are early in your research process, I suggest starting with our articles explaining the basics of the reverse mortgage.

We are not a lender ourselves. We are a network of licensed loan officers who all approach retirement with your longevity and security in mind.
