Good news starting in January 2008.

Reverse Mortgages may now be used to purchase a home. No credit or income requirements. Depending on your age, youll probably need about 30-40% down.

Good luck with your purchase.

The Federal government finances the majority of aging programs. Federal appropriation’s process that provides funding for all federal programs including for retired persons. Do you have your own savings before you retired? If so you can support yourself buying a home..
