In the book “Choosing the Best Mortgage-The Quickest Way to the Life You Want” I wrote about a lady I call Betty Bercoff. When Betty’s husband suddenly passed away, she was suddenly floundering in a world completely foreign to her. She still worked her job. Her husband had left her with a small life insurance policy which did not pay off the mortgage, but it did give her time to make a budget and rearrange her spending habits.

During the Great Recession, she lost her job and could only get part-time work. She and her little dog were just barely making it when the heating system went out in her house. She could not afford to get it fixed. It was winter time and Ms. Bercoff felt the fear of what would happen now that the long, dark tunnel seemed to never end. But Betty was not a quitter. She had to take the high interest home repair loan from the heating and air company and endure less of things she needed.

We did a cash out refinance and consolidated her other expensive debt and the home improvement loan all into one low interest 30- year mortgage, which saved her several hundred dollars per month in overall debt payments. Life was good again.

Fast forward a few years later, Ms. Bercoff retired completely and found herself in debt again after some medical situations. But, there was still plenty of equity in her home, even after the refinance we did a few years ago.

The best financing for Betty Bercoff this time was the FHA government-backed reverse mortgage. This would completely pay off her mortgage and some other debts, giving her breathing room on her budget. She could enjoy a life with NO MORTGAGE PAYMENTS. Betty Bercoff found relief once again with just the right financing-in this case-The Government-Backed Reverse Mortgage.

If you are over 62 years old and have a lot of equity built up in your home, the reverse mortgage may be your ticket to a more joyful retirement lifestyle too. The government-backed reverse mortgage has seen a lot of positive changes recently. Contact me today at 901 482-0354 or jogarner.com

Here are some other questions people ask who are contemplating retirement:

Should you stay, remodel, downsize, or move closer to family?

Will my current home fit my lifestyle 5, 10, or 15 years from now?

Am I house-rich but cash-flow tight?

Can my home equity help me improve my quality of life?

Financing options retirees ask about:

    • Renovation loans
    • Cash-out refinance options
    • Home equity options
    • Reverse mortgage possibilities (when appropriate)
    • Buying the “right-size” retirement home

Donna gives her tip:

Tip of the week #1

Always consult a financial advisor when considering retirement options – staying at home, selling and moving to a senior community, or whatever your choices are – know what your finances look like for the future. Make your finances grow for you and will carry you through retirement.

Advantages of assisted living – Socialization is so easy. Less isolation because there are always people to talk to, do activities with, and staff to care for you. Your neighbor is right there and you don’t have to leave the building to go visit! You have people to share a meal with and you don’t have to prepare it! There is transportation to take you to appointments and shopping as well. Your family will know that you are in a safe environment which takes the worry from them.

  • Assisted living today vs old misconceptions
  • Social advantages:
    • Less isolation
    • Activities and friendships
    • Transportation
    • Meals and convenience
  • Safety advantages:
    • Help nearby when needed
    • Medication support
    • Less burden on adult children
  • Why many residents say, “I wish I had moved sooner”

CALLER: Dee B. gives Ed a positive testimonial for the new roof Masters Roofing installed for her this week.

Homeowners love their homes, but let’s face it, they are stressed out sometimes when their homes need minor repairs or even major upgrades relating to water heaters, heating and air, plumbing or roof replacement.

With regard to roof replacement, it is fairly common to discover without warning that a sudden hail, wind or rain storm damaged the roof and the interior of a home.

Most families do not have enough money set aside for roof repairs or roof replacement. Even if they do, often other pressing needs are competing for those dollars.

What can homeowners do when funds are tight and there is storm-related damage on the roof or even inside the home due to leaks or fallen trees?

That’s where a state-licensed roofing contractor can offer expert advice and guidance to minimize further damages and the perfect action steps in the correct sequence to work with your insurance agent and insurance company under the terms of your policy to provide funding for the needed repairs or replacement in a timely manner.

  1. On site property inspection and damage assessment.
  2. Proper documentation of the damages.
  3. Communication with the insured, agent, and insurer.
  4. Immediate remediation steps and referrals as needed.
  5. Official filing of a claim with the insured to insurance.
  6. On site consultation with insurance adjusters.
  7. Comparison of contractor bids and insurance settlements.
  8. Supplement requests to the insurer for adequate pricing.
  9. Performance of work specified in the insurance settlement and documentation of completed work and filing for the release of depreciation held back by the insurance company.

Ed Hill, Senior Consultant, Masters Roofing started in the home services industry in 2001 and has worked in the roofing industry since 2008.

The 5-Year Retirement Home Checkup”

  1. Roof Check — Will expensive repairs surprise you?
  2. Safety Check — Will your home work as you age?
  3. Payment Check — Does your mortgage still fit retirement income?
  4. Equity Check — Is your home wealth working for you?
  5. Lifestyle Check — Is your home giving you freedom—or creating stress?

Jason Janson (not his real name) wanted to retire years ago but, because of a misunderstanding with his tax professional, he was paying back several years of IRS liens. The set monthly payment to the IRS was more than he blog-post-7-11-26-retire-smart-protect-your-home-your-financ-image-12could afford if he retired from his job. If he did not find a way to pay off the tax debt, he would not be able to retire for another five or six years.

It seemed really easy to refinance and pay off the six figure tax bill since there was plenty of equity in the house Jason owned and he had good credit. What was holding Jason Janson back from a simple refinance to get the IRS out of his life?

Because, as Jason explained to me, “if I borrower over $100,0000 to pay off my IRS liens, my new mortgage payment will be too high for me to afford when I retire over the next few months. So,if I retire, the over $2,000 per month set IRS payment will put me in the poor house. If I try to refinance and pay OFF the IRS, the mortgage payment will put me in the poor house. I am doomed to work til I die.”

Jason was suffering every day because the huge IRS payback payment was holding him down in a very restrictive life style. But if he got the refinance, he would also be stuck making a large mortgage payment instead and could not afford to retire.

But, Jason did not know about a simple solution called a “mortgage recast.” Here is how the recast set Jason financially free. I explained to Jason that we could do a fixed rate mortgage on his house to pay off, once and for all, the IRS six-figure tax lien. The payment would be fairly high as compared to his job income. However, when he retired in the next few months, he would be getting a large lump sum from his employer in addition to some monthly pension. He planned to take some of the lump sum and pay down about 30% the unpaid balance on the new mortgage. He had a written agreement with the mortgage company that he could recast the mortgage to a much lower monthly payment once he made the extra lump sum payment. The recast would allow the lender to recalculate Jason’s payment on the much lower paid down balance over the remaining years on the mortgage term. Now Jason could retire AND enjoy an extremely low mortgage payment with NO TAX LIEN.

Other Ways to Find Extra Funds to Buy a Home Or Repair One That Needs Repairs

    1. Using a Renovation and Repair loan would assist in funding the repairs, but it does require more money down and a little higher
    2. than market rate.
    3. Borrowing against your retirement fund
    4. Getting an equity line (be sure they won’t require repairs to be fixed before they fund your equity line.)

REFINANCE STRATEGIES PEOPLE ARE USING IN THE 2026 REAL ESTATE MARKET

blog-post-7-11-26-retire-smart-protect-your-home-your-financ-image-13

One of the best tools for redesigning your financial life is using a mortgage refinance when it makes sense.

#1. Cash out refinance to combine your low balance first mortgage and high balance, higher interest rate debt into one single digit, fixed rate mortgage. When you can save several hundred dollars a month on a cash out refinance, consider using the extra savings to pay the mortgage off early.

#2. Cash out refinance to buy an additional property

#3. Cash out refinance to modify your home to fit the way you want to live in your home.

#4. Renovation and repair loans help you buy a home and fund the renovation costs. These work if you are refinancing a home to improve it too.

#5. Reverse mortgage can give you cash upfront to repair your home and pay you an income each month or provide a credit line for you to use when you want to use it. You don’t have to make any mortgage payments.

#4. Cash from other sources

(THE SONG UpBeat Inspirations PLAYING IN BACKGROUND ) INSIGHTS & INSPIRATION Jo shares this story

Boom to Bust to Reaching Toward A Billion

This well-known business man built his wealth to 4 million dollars at age 26. He was rich until the bank that held his debt sold and the new bank demanded he pay back $1.2 million within 90 days. A different bank demanded another $800,000.

The financial strain fractured his life and his family’s life. After working frantically for two years to try and pay the debt, he was at the end of himself and his marriage was at the brink of divorce. He and his wife had to declare bankruptcy and lost everything.

But he would not stay down. He looked at what went wrong and made improvements to his system of building wealth—this time without going into debt.

After successfully bounding back, this man wrote a book and came up with a system that helped other people become wealthy without getting into debt. Today Yahoo Finance reported that Dave Ramsey is worth about $850 million dollars. You may recognize him as the author of Financial Peace and his classes called Financial Peace University.

Are you taking a look at what you can do today to improve your retirement lifestyle tomorrow? Consult with a trusted financial advisor. Are you planning to remain in your home? What financing strategies can you use to minimize the amount you have to pay out toward debt? What improvements do you need to make to your home? Do you have enough finances in place to afford to move to a place offering assisted living?

Donna Roach of Hearthside Senior Living gives about a 1 minute tip. Tip #2 – always do your research. Do you put money in your home to age in place, move to downsize or choose a senior community. Make sure you choose the RIGHT community in the right location.

Ed Hill of Masters Roofing gives about a 1 minute tip

Jo Garner’s tip : If you are trying to decide the best place for you or a family member to retire and one of you does not have the down payment of income to cover the costs of buying a different home, consider buy a larger home with an in-law suite so that you and your family member who is retiring can all live under the same roof and still have privacy. Combining both your income and theirs can help you both afford the larger home. Combining your funds and theirs can help you afford a good down payment too.
