Reverse Mortgage Info
Does anyone know a non-biased website, etc. where I can find good information on these Reverse Mortgages - pros and cons?

Try message #340307. One of the notaries who posts here
has a book.

I bought Brenda Stone's book on reverse mortgages. You pay via PayPal and receive it on line to print at your convenience. It has been invaluable. Give it a try.

I don't think the question is about reverse mortgage closings and reverse mortgage packages. It's about the advantages or disadvantages of getting a reverse mortgage. In that case, I think the AARP site is the resource you want:

Re: Reverse Mortgage Info - Agree Alex.
I see what you mean. I did not read from the beginning.

I decided a while ago that I will not do any more. They make me very uncomfortable.

That's a shame. I like RM's. IMO it's a great program for many seniors, and I've done some signings were people were helped tremendously by the RM. It's not for everyone.

I'm with you. I like them. I've had more than a few seniors cry tears of joy at their closings because the r.m. was basically allowing them to survive on their low fixed income. I'd recommend an r.m. to a friend or family member in a heartbeat.

I bought and read Reverse Mortgages for Dummies. A good, informative book. Erwin
