What is a reverse mortgage?
For a financial tool still regarded with some scepticism and too often overlooked, a reverse mortgage punches way above its weight.
Maybe you are overlooking its awesome power too!
If you are a senior who is at least 62 years of age and is asset rich but cash poor, it might well be perfect for you.
It works by converting the equity you have in your home into cold, hard cash.
This in turn allows you to remain in your home instead of having to consider the unpleasant prospect of selling up, just to be able to afford your retirement.
Instantly, your disposal income skyrockets and you can begin planning to enjoy all the things you have been missing out on.
Those overseas vacations can become a reality, those home renovations can be booked, splashing out on little things like nice dinners or spoiling the grandchildren are all affordable.
Funds can be made available in many different ways including a line of credit, monthly instalments, a lump sum or even a combination of all three.
As long as the terms of the loan are met, a reverse mortgage does not require repayment until either the homeowner sells or the last surviving borrower passes away.
It’s one of the savviest ways homeowners can rid themselves of financial woes and give their standard of living a real boost.

About Oakland, California
Oakland, California, is a dynamic and diverse city located in the heart of the East Bay, along the shimmering shores of the San Francisco Bay in Alameda County. Just across the Bay Bridge from San Francisco, Oakland offers a unique blend of urban energy and laid-back charm, framed by the rolling Oakland Hills to the east and the bustling waterfront to the west.

With easy access to BART, major highways, and the nearby Port of Oakland, the city combines vibrant city life with convenient connectivity, making it a welcoming place to call home.
Rich in history, Oakland was incorporated in 1852 and grew into a major hub during the California Gold Rush, later becoming a key center for trade and industry with its strategic port location. The city’s cultural legacy shines through its role in the Civil Rights Movement and its vibrant arts scene, from the historic Fox Theater to the murals adorning its neighborhoods. Oakland’s past as a jazz and blues epicenter continues to influence its lively music venues and festivals. Neighborhoods like Uptown, Rockridge, and Fruitvale reflect Oakland’s diverse heritage, fostering a sense of community that resonates with residents of all backgrounds.
Oakland offers a wealth of recreational and cultural attractions that make it a standout destination. Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy Lake Merritt, the nation’s first official wildlife refuge, with its scenic trails and vibrant community events, while Redwood Regional Park offers hiking and breathtaking views of the Bay Area. The city’s culinary scene is a draw, with diverse dining options ranging from food trucks to upscale restaurants in Jack London Square.
