Dorothy Doren “I don't feel 90 years old”
Dorothy was starting to have serious worries about her finances when she first heard about reverse mortgages. Although she had a valuable home, she still had to find money for taxes and upkeep. Her reverse mortgage gives Dorothy a feeling of relief and enough money to pursue her passion for travel.
“It’s just an ideal situation for myself. It’s changed my life. It’s freed me of worries. I don’t feel like I’m 90 years old and I’m a very good promoter of the Reverse Mortgage because when my friends ask me, I tell them there is no better program that even exists for that matter. They were so accessible. When I have a question and I call, they put me through right away. They gave me very good advice and I don’t regret a thing about it.”
Bill and Maggie Fletcher “We can enjoy our lives”
The Fletchers were cautious at first about the idea of a reverse mortgage, but once they did some research, they were convinced it was the right choice. They used the money they got for a much-needed new car and to create a financial cushion that allows them to enjoy their life without worry.
“It really helped out because we got the new automobile…we really needed it badly…and we didn’t suffer anything from our income so it made sense to us. It’s wonderful to have our home, our children visit us, know that we have the freedom to take a trip if we want to or just enjoy our lives here.”
Doris Goodman “It's like a freedom to fly”
Doris used the money from her reverse mortgage to pay off her existing mortgage and eliminate the need for income from tenants to make ends meet. Now she can afford a comfortable life, including the thing she loves most: traveling to visit family members.
“I wasn’t able to do the things I wanted to do or buy the things that I would like to have bought so it made it kind of hard and once the reverse mortgage came in…that made the difference…big difference. It’s like a freedom to fly. I don’t worry about having a house note or I don’t worry about my car note. So having all this I can get up and go wherever I’m going at any time. So it’s been a blessing for me to do this.”
