The Equity Income Solution One of the challenges we are faced with in retirement is making sure that our income outlasts our life. If we have not planned for this early enough we might be faced with a situation where we must cut back and not enjoy the one period in our life when we have the time. This dilemma may also have been caused by the unforeseen drop in the stock markets in 2000 and 2001. Whatever the reason, we start searching for ways to correct the problem. Find other means of stretching our assets so we don't have to worry about money. A solution that has emerged in recent years is the reverse mortgage. After spending a lifetime putting money into your primary residence, there is now a way to pull it out and supplement your income. This is not the most efficient way of creating income for retirement but it is a solution for some homeowners. The one advantage of the reverse mortgage is that there are no qualification requirements. This is where most of the benefits end. This type of loan has many negatives. It is very expensive, forces you to make a decision now how long you will stay in your home and does not have any inflation protection. If you have to sell your home or move, the income stops and you now have less assets to help you qualify for any other real estate purchases. At Freepoint we have discovered an alternative to this somewhat drastic and final decision which we call The Equity Income Solution. We recommend that everyone who is considering a reverse mortgage and/or would like to create more income from their current assets should take a look at this option before they move ahead. The Equity Income Solution provides not only the extra income, it keeps you more in control of your assets and gives you much more flexibility should our circumstances change as life takes its course.
