Boulder and Fort Collins sit side-by-side as best housing markets for growth and stability.

Despite a challenging marketplace for homebuyers – think high mortgage rates, low inventory in some areas, and declining home prices TOM in some cities KALINSKI – Boulder and Fort Collins rank in the top five housing markets for growth and stability, according to the 2023 SmartAsset report.

These two cities sit side-by-side in the rankings, with Boulder claiming the No. 3 position and Fort Collins at No. 4. Between 1998 and 2022, Boulder’s home prices grew more than 256% — 33rd out of the 400 metro areas. Fort Collins home prices rose 224% over the same period, in the top 20th percentile for growth. Nationwide, home prices increased an average of 154% for the 25 years, compared to an 80% cumulative inflation rate over the same period, reports SmartAsset.

To determine the best and worst housing markets for growth and stability, SmartAsset compared home value data from the Federal Housing Administration for 400 metropolitan areas between 1998 and 2022. Analysts calculated cumulative increases and the frequency of significant drops in

value.

Key findings of the report show Texas dominated the 20 list for the best housing markets for growth and stability – including the No. 1 ranked Austin, with home prices rising 354% over the period studied.

Six Texas metros rank among the top 10 markets for growth and stability, including Austin-Round RockGeorgetown, Midland, Odessa, Dallas-Plano-Irving, San AntonioNew Braunfels and Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land.

Western cities showed well, too, with Boulder and Fort Collins topping the western metros and Kennewick-Richland, Washington; Billings, Montana; and Cheyenne, Wyoming, hitting the top 20.

In many instances, population growth accompanied home price increases, as happened for the Austin metro and Kennewick-Richland, Washington. Here are the top 10 metro areas with the best housing markets for growth and stability.

1. Austin-Round RockGeorgetown, Texas Along with the Austin area’s significant home price increase of 354%, the population nearly doubled in the last 20 years. Large tech companies Apple, Amazon and Tesla claim some responsibility for the influx of residents who support the local economy and drive housing demand.

2. Midland, Texas A West Texas metro, Midland’s home prices increased 255%, more than 91% of the metro areas studied. The economy is bolstered by oil and gas reserves, including the recent discovery of one of the largest U.S. oil reserves.

3. Boulder, Colorado While Boulder’s population hasn’t had the same spike as Austin, its economy is supported by giants like Google and IBM, a long-standing reputation as a haven for startups, and the attraction of the University of Colorado’s flagship campus. Even without population growth, Boulder ranks third-best for housing market growth and stability, with a 256% rise in home prices between 1998 and 2022.

4. Fort Collins, Colorado Located about an hour’s drive north of Denver, Fort Collins hosts a college campus, Colorado State University. Average home prices grew 224% between 1998 and 2022, which puts Fort Collins in the top 20th percentile for growth.

5. Kennewick-Richland, Washington Southeastern Washington’s Kennewick-Richland population CONTINUED – See Page 20

Hard money lending for real estate When you hear “hard money loans,” you might picture money changing hands in a dark alley and rough collection DUANE DUGGAN techniques when the loan comes due. However, that could not be further from the truth as hard money lending can be a very valuable and useful tool in many real estate transactions.

In the “regular” real estate financing world, mortgage lenders for one- to four-unit properties usually need to follow strict guidelines and procedures set out by entities like Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Following those guidelines naturally takes time – and in a hot market, time can make the difference between whether an offer on a

piece of real estate is accepted or not. Hard money lenders use their own money or closely affiliated investors to lend. This enables them to make quick decisions on loan approval and funding. Hard money lenders are typically collateral-based, which means they look to the property to secure the loan. Hard money is generally only available for an investment property, and not for owner-occupied properties.

Hard money is short-term financing, not your 30-year home mortgage. So why would you want to use hard money?

Real·tor noun

An expert who will search for your dream home. you one. And then volunteer in your Help neighborhood to make it better. Ask your home search app to do all that.

Acquisition In a hot market, time is of the essence and buyers often will compete with cash buyers who can close quickly. Having a pre-approval with a hard money lender can level the playing field, enabling the buyer to submit a winning contract.

Renovation or fix and flip A property in need of serious renovation often will not qualify for conventional financing.

Hard money is a way to get the property purchased, then structure cash draws to complete the renovation. Once the renovation is complete, the property could qualify for conventional financing or be prepared to be sold.

Custom refinance Hard money lenders don’t need to fit into a certain framework or criteria. They often can structure a custom refinance to create a path to meet a particular goal.

Advantages of hard money Speed of decision making typically, a decision can be made in a week or less. Hard money lenders make their own assessments and typically don’t need to wait for things such as an appraisal.

Speed of funding the loan there is no long process to get funding for closing.

Flexibility - the loan can be structured in a variety of ways.

Disadvantages of hard money Upfront expense – a loan fee is charged up front that is higher.

Remember, you are paying for speed and flexibility.

Higher interest rate – the interest rate is higher than what you would get on a 30-year mortgage.

Shorter term – hard money loans seldom exceed a one-year term.

Every transaction is different.

As a borrower, you will discuss and agree upon all the terms of the loan, such as the down payment required, all fees, interest rates and terms. The lender will secure the loan with a deed of trust against the property to be used in the event of default.

Using hard money can be a helpful strategy for buying property and building a real estate portfolio. Taking the time to research and acquire knowledge about hard money can put a very valuable financing tool at your disposal.

REAL ESTATE

The unparalleled value of experienced real estate agents for retirees Navigating the world of real estate can be challenging, especially for retirees looking to make a significant change in their living situation.

Whether buying or selling, retirees BILL stand to gain a MYERS great deal from the services of an experienced real estate agent.

From understanding the local real estate market nuances to advocating for their client’s best interests, professional realtors offer many advantages.

Real estate agents with a SRES certification The value of a Real Estate Agent with an SRES® certification cannot be overstated, mainly when catering to the unique needs of senior clients.

SRES® certified agents undergo specialized training, equipping them to address the distinct challenges and decisions faced by property owners aged 50 and above. They possess indepth knowledge about key financial and legal considerations, from pension funds and reverse mortgages to potential tax implications of property sales. Furthermore, these agents are attuned to the emotional aspects of selling a long-held family home or buying a new property more conducive to retirement or senior living. While Bill has participated in many such transactions, he is actively engaged in obtaining an SRES ® Certification at this time. Those with such expertise have an understanding

of the nuances of the real estate market for seniors and offer guidance, support, and resources that align with their clientele’s life stages and aspirations. In essence, an SRES® certified agent represents a blend of real estate acumen and empathetic consulting, ensuring that property transactions for seniors are both financially sound and emotionally satisfying.

Selling a home: The seller’s perspective When retirees decide to downsize or shift to a new home, selling their existing property is often the first significant step. An excellent real estate agent, particularly a seller’s agent, brings in-depth market knowledge that can be instrumental.

For instance, in a thriving local market, they can determine the best listing price, ensuring retirees get the best price for their property.

Open houses, a traditional staple in the real estate industry, are handled

more efficiently and effectively with an agent’s touch. A retiree might recall the time they attended an open house where the listing agent masterfully highlighted features especially appealing to potential buyers in their age bracket, such as accessibility features and proximity to local amenities.

Moreover, experienced realtors are more than just transaction facilitators. They’re emotional support pillars. Selling a home, especially one lived in for years, can evoke an emotional attachment. A good agent understands this dynamic landscape, guiding retirees through the process with sensitivity and expertise.

Buying a new home: Through the buyer’s lens For retirees searching for their next home, having a buyer’s agent by their side can be invaluable. These agents have access to a wide range of real estate websites, including multiple listing services, which provide retirees with a vast selection of home listings tailored to their needs. For example, Mr. and Mrs. Allen were first-time buyers in the retirement phase and were unsure about the entire real estate transaction process. However, with the expert guidance and support of a real estate agent, they found a great neighborhood that matched their price range and benefitted from their agent’s professional network. From home inspectors to mortgage lenders and even a real estate attorney, every step of the process was streamlined, and their agent was there to ensure that they were well-informed and equipped to make decisions that were in their best interests.

Experience: The heart of a great real estate agent Retirees often prefer to work with experienced real estate agents with a proven business track record.

Whether it’s a tricky deal or the vast amount of paperwork, retirees find solace in knowing an experienced hand is guiding the way. For instance, Mrs. Abraham’s professional realtor advised patience, leading to a much higher offer.

Moreover, an experienced realtor can use sales data of similar properties and their deep understanding of the local area to ensure that retirees get the best deal, be it a higher or lower price, based on the home’s actual value. This is especially important for retirees on a fixed income who must be mindful of their expenses.

By having a knowledgeable and trustworthy agent by their side, retirees can rest assured that they are making informed decisions that will benefit them in the long run.

In conclusion, a buyer’s agent can be an invaluable resource for retirees looking to buy a new home.

They provide access to a wide range of property listings and have the expertise needed to guide retirees through real estate transactions. With their support and guidance, retirees can make informed decisions to help them find their dream homes and get the best deal possible.

he lifestyle builder Boulder Creek Neighborhoods is stepping into the world of contemporary, modern living with their latest Limited Edition lower-maintenance home designs, available exclusively for Baseline, a master-planned community now under development in Broomfield. “Baseline is a different type of neighborhood it’s a forward-looking progressive community,” said Boulder Creek Architect and Design Principal Mitch Traeger. “They want people to live lives fully and that goes right in line with what we do.”

Boulder Creek Neighborhoods’

Urban-meets-city living Baseline will link city and nature with more than 9,000 residencies, regional and pocket parks, a comprehensive trail system, more than 170 acres of open land, a K-12 school and a dining, business and retail district anchored by a pedestrian plaza. Even more, the Butterfly Pavilion, currently based in Westminster and the world’s only stand-alone accredited facility dedicated to invertebrates, is slated to relocate to Baseline.

“Our architects were inspired by the nature-friendly Baseline vibe,” said Boulder Creek chief revenue officer Jessica Champlin. The

two model homes at Baseline are under construction now, with a Grand Opening planned for early next year. Interest in these one-ofa-kind, lower-maintenance homes is high, thanks to their innovative

collection showcases modern designs that “flow seamlessly from the streetscape and reflect the priorities of the Baseline community,” said Traeger. He added, “The architecture becomes the jewelry on the street.”

Nature-inspired designs for ultimate urban living Traeger took his cue for Boulder Creek’s Baseline homes from the main pedestrian plaza, where homeowners can step from nature to retail to home. His majestic floorplans, all three stories, “create homes where the party flows off the streetscape,” he said. “That gives you a strong sense of community.

You are interacting more with your neighbors, with the environment.”

For Traeger, the Baseline

collection is intended to be “contemporary, dynamic and vibrant,” he continued. “The homes have been designed to be grand and gracious from every angle.”

Thus, in one of his designs, a magnificent two-story entrance with an outdoor fireplace and a stunning bank of windows welcomes homeowners. In a second-floor plan, three large outdoor spaces are tucked onto the side of the home, ensuring privacy while also pouring natural light into each level. In still another plan, the front porch features a privacy screen and plenty of room for potted plants, dining and lounge chairs. Trager said, “The goal has been to make these designs as flexible as they can be.”

Boulder Creek’s Baseline floorplans offer three floors of true living spaces. The ground level of each floorplan features both a three-car garage and outdoor living spaces, in addition to a rec room and personalized selections such as an extra bedroom, pocket office, library or crafting studio. “These are the spaces where I envision the kids hanging out, it’s a perfect spot for some privacy,” he said.

On the second floor or “main” level, the focus is on functional spaces that stretch from the front of the home to the back. Towering windows make the most of natural light, while entertainer’s kitchen options showcase a six-burner gas cooktop, a built-in double oven, a second dishwasher, prep stations and a butler’s pantry. The generously sized kitchen islands are “perfect

for whatever the homeowners want to do – homework, entertaining or serious baking,” Traeger said.

The energy of the main floor radiates from a commanding stairwell or fireplace, depending on the floorplan, and natural light will play beautifully off of the high-end finishes. The intuitive space presents endless opportunities: “You could even forego the couch and put a pool table in here if that’s your thing,” said Traeger with a laugh.

On the top level, a third covered porch off either the primary suite or on the side of the home provides a relaxing retreat above the hustle and bustle of daily life. In the primary suite, overstuffed chairs can ring the fireplace for maximum coziness.

The highlight of the primary suite may be in the bathroom, where a

glass-wrapped shower room with a soaking bathtub offers a daily spa experience. A fourth or fifth bedroom, or loft and flex spaces, keep the home eminently useable for each age and stage of life.

Flexibility extends even to Baseline’s garages. Trager noted, “Another thing we think will be exciting for Colorado buyers is that we have a two-car garage with a one-car garage next to it. So you can park two cars here, and you have a whole bay left over for your bikes, your kayaks, your skis, all that good gear that we get in Colorado.”

Boulder Creek plus Baseline equals maximum efficiency “Boulder Creek homes are always very intentional and focused on living well, and these homes stay

true to our mission,” Traeger said.

Ultra-efficient and crafted with durable materials, Boulder Creek homes are inherently lowermaintenance, and solar panels top every home. He said, “The goal is to not make your house or your yard demand all your time but to free up your time so you can truly live life.”

Finally, Boulder Creek’s longstanding dedication to energy efficiency means the award-winning builder is a great fit at Baseline, where construction must adhere to vigorous sustainability guidelines.

Alternative energy, LED lighting, drip irrigation and differentiated planting to conserve water are woven into Baseline’s community values.

Alongside the trail system, regional park and dozens of pocket parks, Baseline will also feature an amphitheater, sports fields and playgrounds. “This is an ideal place to thrive in every sense of the word,” said Jessica Champlin, Boulder Creek Neighborhood’s chief revenue officer.

Boulder Creek’s Limited Edition layouts will offer 2,900 to 3,300 square feet, with 3 to 5 bedrooms and 3-car garage spaces.

MORTGAGE

How to increase your mortgage preapproval amount Can my mortgage preapproval amount be increased?

It’s possible that your preapproval amount is too low and won’t fit your needs or work for the market you’re looking to purchase in.

Fortunately, you might be able to increase your mortgage preapproval amount in certain circumstances.

However, you’ll need to demonstrate to the lender you can afford a more expensive mortgage.

How to get preapproved for a higher loan amount Your preapproval will come with some basic details, including the amount that the lender expects you to be able to borrow. It will include details about the loan, including: The best way to get preapproved for a large mortgage amount is to have strong credit, little or no debt and high, steady income. People with lower credit scores, limited or uneven income or high debt levels will see lower preapproval amounts. (Photo: Dreamstime/TNS).

By TJ Porter Bankrate.com (TNS)

T

he first step to buy a home is to get a mortgage lender’s preapproval for a loan. A preapproval is a written agreement that a lender is likely to finance your mortgage and shows sellers that you’re serious about buying a house.

It also provides important information about how much money you can borrow, helping you estimate your monthly mortgage payment and providing a rough sense of how much home you can afford.

If, in the course of your house hunting, you feel you need more money, you might be able to increase your mortgage approval sum. Here’s how to do it.

What is mortgage preapproval?

Mortgage preapproval is assurance from a lender that you’re likely to qualify for a mortgage.

You can get preapproved by more than one lender. The process involves submitting a basic application with some details about your financial situation: assets, income and debts. The lender uses that information to write a document saying whether you’re

preapproved for a loan, and if so, how much you’d be able to borrow.

Preapproval does not guarantee that you’ll get a loan or a loan of a particular size if you formally apply.

Still, it conveys that you are most likely creditworthy and have the funds to buy a home. Often, sellers demand proof of preapproval before they’ll entertain a buyer’s offer.

How is the mortgage preapproval amount determined?

Each lender has specific guidelines for determining preapproval amounts, and the amount also depends on the type of mortgage you’re seeking. That said, the lender will evaluate your credit score, income, debt load, assets and other components of your financial profile to calculate how much you’re potentially eligible to borrow.

This amount is an estimate of how much house the lender believes you can afford based on the projected monthly payments.

The lender will also want to appraise the property you’re mortgaging, to make sure it is of sufficient value to back the debt, and take other steps to make sure the loan isn’t a high risk.

• • • • • •

Purchase price Loan amount Loan type Type of home Loan term Down payment

Usually, the preapproval shows the maximum purchase price/loan amount the lender will preapprove you for, and comes with an expiration date. If you try to make an offer on a home for an amount higher than you’re preapproved for, sellers are likely to ignore the offer because you won’t get approved for the loan.

To get a higher mortgage loan amount, there are a few things you can do:

Improve your credit score Your credit score plays a big role in your ability to get any type of loan.

For a loan as large as a mortgage, having strong credit is essential.

The higher your credit score, the lower the interest rate of your mortgage will be. That will reduce the loan’s monthly payment. Because one of the key factors limiting your total loan amount is the affordability of its monthly payment, qualifying for a lower rate can help you secure a slightly larger loan — emphasis on the “slightly.”

“Having a higher credit score may allow you to qualify for a higher mortgage [amount], but only to a certain extent,” says Matt Hackett,

operations manager at Equity Now, a New York-based mortgage lender.

Still, every little bit helps — that extra $10,000 or $20,000 just might make the difference if you get caught in a bidding war.

To boost your credit score, be sure to make all your payments on time, and don’t max out the credit you have or apply for more credit while you’re trying to get the mortgage.

Show more income Your income also impacts how much you can borrow. The more you make every month, the more money you’ll have available to put toward a loan.

The good news is that you don’t necessarily have to get a much higher-paying job or snag a raise.

In addition to salary or wages, you might be able to use other sources of reliable income to qualify, such as: • • • •

•

Interest or dividends from investments Income from rental property Alimony or child support Money earned from a parttime job or side business (provided you’ve earned the income for at least the past two years) Income from a pension, retirement account or Social Security benefits

Realtor Denise Supplee, for example – co-founder of Spark Rental, a Pennsylvania-based website for rental property investors – needed more income to refinance, and thought of her live-in mother.

“Originally, my mother was not on the loan, nor did we have her pay any of the expenses,” says Supplee.

“However, in the refinancing, I asked our loan officer if we could use her Social Security income to get the job done.” It worked.

Pay off other debt When you apply for a mortgage, the lender looks at your debt-to-income (DTI) ratio, which is the percentage of your monthly earnings you’re shelling out to cover your minimum regular obligations.

Generally, a DTI ratio of 36% or less is considered ideal and can help you qualify for a larger loan. Several lenders are comfortable with even higher DTIs.

Increase your mortgage preapproval amount (continued) Paying off a credit card or installment loan can make a huge difference in this figure, says Jennifer Beeston, senior vice president of mortgage lending at Guaranteed Rate in San Francisco, California.

“Often, I will see on someone’s credit a debt with a $2,000 balance and $300 monthly payment,” Beeston says. “Paying that off is a quick and easy way to increase how much you qualify for.”

Reducing credit card balances with a balance-transfer card (that has a lower APR or an zero-interest period), refinancing an auto loan to lower the payment or consolidating debt into an installment loan could also help. Increasing your income is another way to reduce your DTI ratio, but paying off loans is just as, if not more, effective.

Put at least 20% down You can effectively increase your loan’s value by avoiding extra surcharges on it. While some fees are inescapable, there are some costs you can duck.

Private mortgage insurance (PMI) is one such cost. Typically, borrowers making less than a 20% down payment must pay PMI each month. This insurance protects the lender if you stop making payments but you pay the premiums.

The average range for PMI premium rates is 0.58-1.86% of your loan principal, according to the Urban Institute, though some lenders, such as Chase, place it as high as 2.25%.

Imagine you get pre-approved for a $300,000 loan with a 6% interest rate and 30-year term. Your monthly payment before escrow would be $1,800. If you pay $200 per month in PMI, that makes your total monthly payment $2,000.

If you have a big enough monthly payment to avoid the $200 per month PMI payment, you might be able to qualify for a larger loan. A $335,000 loan at 6% has a $2,000 per month payment, meaning avoiding PMI could boost your preapproval amount by as much as 10% in this scenario.

Using extra cash to buy down your interest rate could lower your monthly payment further, improving your maximum loan amount. “Not only will you qualify for a higher loan amount, but you

will save thousands of dollars over time, too,” says Casey Fleming, a mortgage advisor and author of “The Loan Guide: How to Get the Best Possible Mortgage.”

Explore different loan types Mortgages tend to come in two types, fixed-rate and adjustable-rate (ARMs).

Fixed-rate loans have a set interest rate that does not change. This offers predictability throughout the life of the loan. With an ARM, the rate — and monthly payment — of the loan changes over time. That means less predictability. However, ARMs tend to have lower initial rates than fixed-rate mortgages.

That lower starting interest rate on ARMs can help you qualify for a slightly larger mortgage by reducing the monthly payment. ARMs come in several varieties, described as a 7/1 ARM, 5/1 ARM, 10/1 ARM, and so on. The first number is the number of years with the fixed rate.

The second is the interval, after the initial period, at which the rate will fluctuate, with “1” meaning annually.

Keep in mind that your loan’s rate and payment will likely rise after the initial period, so you’ll need to find a way to afford those higher payments.

If you feel comfortable with the rate risk of an ARM, or if you plan to sell your home or refinance your mortgage before the fixed period ends, this option could help you get a lower interest rate and a bigger mortgage.

Also consider loan programs outside those of commercial lenders, such as FHA loans, which are insured by the Federal Housing Administration, and VA loans, which are guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

These options have more flexible guidelines that could allow you to borrow more.

Add a co-borrower Adding a co-borrower to your mortgage, especially if that individual has strong credit and a steady income, might help convince a lender to increase your mortgage preapproval amount. The coborrower’s income, coupled with your own, increases the total income the lender can use to qualify you for

a loan.

For example, if you make $50,000 per year, there’s a limit to the amount you can pay toward a mortgage each month, and therefore a limit to how much a lender will approve you for. Adding a coborrower who also makes $50,000 per year increases that ceiling: Now you’re an applicant with $100,000 in income, so because you can show more income for a mortgage, you can better afford a larger loan.

Keep in mind that a co-borrower brings their liabilities as well as their assets to the table, though. If the co-borrower has a lot of debt or bad credit, adding them to the application could hurt, rather than help, your chances.

Build cash reserves While you won’t necessarily need cash reserves to qualify for a mortgage, having additional assets in the bank or elsewhere can help you qualify for a bigger loan.

Showing that you’re financially responsible and have the savings to cover unexpected expenses or deal with financial issues makes the lender feel like you’re less of a risk.

That could help make the lender more comfortable with approving a larger loan.

Get more than one quote It’s always a good idea to get multiple rate quotes and loan offers — in fact, studies show comparisonshopping pays off over the course of a loan.

There’s another benefit, too, however: If you get multiple preapprovals, you’ll get multiple offers with potentially different amounts. If you really need a big mortgage, like a jumbo loan, you can go with the lender that offers the largest preapproved amount, even if the other aspects of the loan aren’t perfect.

With more than one offer, you also have the leverage to go back to a lender and see if they’ll increase the amount they’re willing to lend. You can also try to negotiate better rates and fees, helping you save money.

How much will I be preapproved for?

There’s no simple formula for determining how much you

get preapproved for. Mortgage underwriters look at dozens, if not hundreds, of data points about you to determine whether to offer preapproval and how large a loan to preapprove you for.

The best way to get preapproved for a large amount is to have strong credit, little or no debt and high, steady income. People with lower credit scores, limited or uneven income or high debt levels will see lower preapproval amounts.

Next steps Getting preapproved is just the beginning of the homebuying process. Once you’ve found a home you like and submitted an offer that gets accepted, it’s time to move on to an official mortgage application.

Have all of your documents, such as pay stubs and bank statements ready, and be ready to work with your lender to provide all of the information it needs to complete the underwriting process.

FAQ about increasing preapproval amount • Can I appeal or request a review of my preapproval amount? Yes, it is possible to request the lender to take a second look at your preapproval amount. Be sure to assess your budget to confirm you can truly afford a higher loan amount before contacting the lender. If you don’t have much luck, consider getting preapproved with another lender to see if they’ll offer a higher preapproval amount.

• Can I appeal a lower appraisal to increase my preapproval amount?

If your home appraisal comes in low, it could negatively impact your preapproval amount. You can dispute the appraisal, but there are no guarantees the final outcome will be in your favor.

• Should I consult with a mortgage professional to explore options for increasing my preapproval amount? It’s worth working with a mortgage professional if you aren’t sure which actions are best to increase your preapproval amount. They can provide you with detailed guidance based on your unique financial situation.

The Swiss Army Knife of mortgage Did you know there are thousands of mortgage products in the United States? Maybe you have only ever heard of a 30 or GABE BODNER 15-year fixedrate mortgage or a HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit). Or maybe you had an ARM (adjustable-rate mortgage) in the past. However, there are thousands of unique loan programs that each serve a very specific purpose. There are programs designed for first-time home buyers while other programs are designed for construction or rehabbing a home, and others are designed for doctors, business owners or rental properties, and so on.

What I find fascinating is that each of these loan programs is unique and each program is designed to serve one single purpose or one single type of client.

What I love about the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) is that the ways to utilize the program are endless and it can be used by virtually anyone age 62 and over with a significant amount of equity in their home. This is why I call a

HECM, the Swiss Army Knife of mortgage products. Let me give you a few examples of how some of our clients have recently used their HECM: To pay off a mortgage: The most common goal for clients using an HECM is to pay off their mortgage so they can eliminate making any more payments of principal and interest.* To consolidate debt: Medical expenses and credit card debt can add up and they require large monthly payments. Using a HECM to pay off debt can greatly improve cash flow.

Home improvement: Use your equity to help improve your home and your home’s value. This can be for deferred maintenance, remodeling, handicap accessibility, or just normal upkeep.

To cover property taxes and home insurance: Property taxes and home insurance costs have

skyrocketed recently! Allow your home equity to cover the costs of annual taxes and insurance.* To purchase a vacation home: If you have dreams of spending part of the year somewhere else, why not use your home equity to purchase a vacation home and diversify your real estate portfolio?

Right-sizing (purchase a new primary residence): Use your equity as a bridge to purchase a new primary residence and avoid making monthly payments of principal and interest.* To cover the cost of assisted living for an ailing spouse: Instead of selling your home to help cover the cost of medical care, use your equity to cover additional medical or living expenses.* To travel more: Are there still places you want to travel to and people you want to visit? Use some of your equity to enjoy your go-go years!

Gifting to family members: You do not need to wait until you die to give your kids or grandkids an inheritance. You can give some of your wealth away today while you are alive, and you can watch them enjoy your gift.

Gifting to charity/ non-profit organizations: Give a gift to charity while you are alive so

you can see the benefits of your gift. Charities need our help today, why wait if you do not need to?

Create a growing line of credit (LOC) for future unplanned expenses: Life is unpredictable.

Be prepared for the future and create an LOC today so you have access to money when you need it.

Purchase a rental property: Use your equity to buy a rental property to create passive income through an investment property and further diversify your real estate portfolio.

This is by no means a complete list of ways to utilize a reverse mortgage.
