FUND LONGEVITY WITH A REVERSE MORTGAGE AND ENHANCE YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE
As a financial planner, you may have many prospective clients that appear to not have any money to invest that are over the age of 62.
You may have even considered the prospective client a “dead” lead and put them off to the wayside.
THIS IS NOT THE CASE!!!
What if we told you there was a way for these “dead” leads to unlock funds they have access to?
What if we told you that you could increase your commissions while helping seniors secure their retirement?
What if we told you that you have the “keys” to unlock a segment of our mutual market that has been combed through but never fully utilized?
Do you have clients that have or are looking to pull money out of investments?
Instead of losing your commissions by clients depleting their investment accounts, there is a better way of taking care of your clients that may not have even been considered before.
The “key” lies within the government sponsored, FHA insured, Home Equity Conversion Mortgage otherwise known as a “Reverse Mortgage.”
The reverse mortgage is a program for seniors 62+ that converts unused equity in their home into tax-free income while eliminating borrower’s monthly mortgage payments.
The proceeds seniors receive can be used to solidify their retirement income.
THIS IS WHERE YOU COME IN!
Many seniors are not educated on reverse mortgages and the many financial benefits that can be derived with the proceeds borrowers are eligible to receive tax-free.
The proceeds can utilized on several different platforms including:
• Life Insurance policies• Investing opportunities• Stocks• Bonds• Mutual Funds• Plus many more!
