FINALLY! THE HONEST TRUTH BEHIND THE REVERSE MORTGAGE

by Travis Schultz, Owner and Licensed Mortgage Broker, Smart Mortgage

Are reverse mortgages not all they’re cracked up to be? Can they truly add the stability you need for financial planning and your retirement, or are they just another way to steal away your home, equity or inheritance? Since the product began back in 1989, local Prescott reverse mortgage expert Travis Schultz at Smart Mortgage says we may be surprised with the honest truth behind the reverse mortgage!

• No mortgage payments for life? – (True) As long as either spouse considers the property as his or her primary home, they can live there for life paying zero mortgage payments.

• All applicants must be 62 years old or older – (False) Only one spouse needs to be 62 years old. The other spouse may be younger.

• You must own your home outright –(False) You may already have an existing mortgage, which can be refinanced and paid off with a reverse mortgage.

• The income or cash I receive is not taxable – (True) Any money you receive, whether monthly, a cash sum or in a home equity line is all nontaxable to do with as you wish.

• You must have good credit and income for a reverse mortgage – (False) Since re-

verse mortgages do not require a mortgage payment, almost anyone with any type of credit and income may be eligible.

• Once into the reverse mortgage you are locked into it, permanently – (False) The reverse mortgage is simply a loan recorded against the property, just like every other mortgage. You retain full ownership, so at any time you can move, sell or refinance the property simply by paying off the mortgage balance.

• If I take out a reverse mortgage, I will leave nothing for my family – (False) Reverse mortgages have insurance automatically built in to protect the family. Most homes continue to increase in value over time, leaving even more equity for family. Even if property values decrease below what is owed, the family can acquire the property for 5% less than market value.

• You can only get a reverse mortgage on a one-unit home – (False) Smart Mortgage also allows reverse mortgages on manufactured homes, duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, townhomes and condos, as long as one unit is considered your primary residence.

• My family will be responsible for the debt – (False) The reverse mortgage is a non-recourse loan, so if your value ever

falls below what you owe, your family will never have to pay the deficiency.

• The government or lender will own my home – (False) The reverse mortgage is simply a lien recorded against the property, just like any other mortgage. The homeowner(s) remains on title and has full ownership. The owner(s) may also add other family members or place the home in a trust, so family automatically has ownership in the property and equity, as well.

• You can purchase a home using a reverse mortgage – (True) Smart Mortgage allows you to purchase a primary home and the financed amount has no payments for life.

Mecca of Western Art Prescott, AZ

The stor y behind the monumental Cowboy in a Stor m statue at the entrance to the city

YAVAPAI CASA FOR KIDS

HOMESMART

CARMELLA’S

Dear Judy:

I want to sell my house. It is a cute house and updated but when I have had realtors come over to give me an estimate of the fair market value, they are suggesting a price about $30,000 lower than I want! Since this is a seller’s market and the inventory is so low, why can’t I price my house well above other Sold properties? Home prices are going up each month! People are moving here from all over and we should be able to get the maximum price. What are your thoughts about listing “high” in this market?

~ A Seller in a Seller’s Market

Dear Seller:

Well, we are in a seller’s market. And prices have gone up considerably in the past year. However, I would suggest that the realtors who came to give you a market analysis, were basing the suggested list price on the current market trends. To price your home $30,000 above other similar properties, with similar upgrades, square footage and lot size, may cause a situation where your house is sitting on the market for longer than you would expect. It can also pose a problem if the buyers are obtaining a loan and need an appraisal, since an appraisal is generally looking at the current value of a property, not tomorrow’s pricing. That being said, it does become more difficult to price a home that is in a non-conforming area where it is harder to obtain recent sold comparable homes. With 21 years of experience, I would say determining the list price of a home is critical, but also complicated when the inventory remains so tight. You might consider getting an appraisal as another opinion of value. If you do list high, discuss with your realtor what is the strategy if the home is not getting showings and offers within 30 days. Good luck!

Local Business Spotlight: Pets & Animals Edition

We at Prescott NOW! love our local businesses. They are our friends, your friends, and the backbone of our community. Without our local businesses and the money they make and reinvest here, there would be no jobs, no schools and no way for most people to make a year-round home here. One commonly cited study found locally owned businesses put 52% of the money they make back into the communities where they made it, versus just 14% by the big chains. Our Business Spotlight sections cover a

different sector of our growing economy each month, highlighting the diversity of services they offer. We share new additions as well as established enterprises that have helped build Greater Prescott into a retail and commercial hub.

These are businesses we know and trust to give all customers the VIP treatment, regardless of whether they have two legs or four. For February, we’ll be telling you about the businesses that serve some of the biggest sweethearts in our lives -- our pets!

For Tea at Sharlot Hall Museum – 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM — Staying connected was often the focus of a Victorian Tea, where social gatherings and a cup of tea was the “Facebook” opportunity of pioneer days. Join us as we explore the world of social networking in Victorian times, and on the frontier. Living History interpreters will showcase the cotillion of the day as social gatherings involved comfortable libations amid music and activities designed to keep all connected. Don’t forget our other Living History stations, such as the Blacksmith Shop, Mercantile, and Print Shop (where you can actually print something on a 19th-century press).Regular museum admission applies. Youth age 12 and under get in free. Museum members free, too! For more information: 928-445-3122 www.sharlothallmuseum.org
