"i'm nearing 75 and my finances are poor at this time. would a reverse mortgage be beneficial or a detrement in a long period of time?"

That would all depend on your situation.

Does your financial situation cause you undue stress? Would using a portion of the equity in your home now give you some peace of mind?

The answers would depend on how much money you used from your reverse mortgage, and over what period of time.

I am a Reverse Mortgage Specialist employed directly with Financial Freedom, a preferred lender with New Retirement. I would be happy to run some scenarios for you, and provide you with an estimate of how much would be available and the costs associated with it.
