The Hidden Asset in Your Retirement Plan

About this episode

The episode discusses how incorporating home equity into retirement plans can impact financial strategies, featuring insights on reverse mortgages.

Could a reverse mortgage strengthen your financial plan? It may depend on whether it’s part of the plan at all. For many retirees, home equity is their largest asset; however, in most financial plans, it’s treated as if it doesn’t exist. On today's Faith & Finance on AFR, Rob West and Harlan Accola explore how bringing your home into the plan can change everything. Then, they take listener calls with questions on reverse mortgages.
