Reverse-Mortgage or Equity Loan…to purchase a “new” home for parents?
2Question : Reverse-Mortgage or Equity Loan…to purchase a “new” home for parents? My parents are sick of current home; too much maintenance and hard to move around in (current home 2-story…want 1-story). They want a fresh start.
The value of their home (as-is) is about $ 55,000. Home they’re looking at is $ 97, 000. Dad says a small mortgage payment is ok.
What about it? They are 80+ yrs old, excellent credit; bills paid in full each month. Current 2-story home paid off 14 yrs ago. Staying in same town.

Would you recommend your healthy 65 year old parents consider a chic residence for active, healthy adults?
0Question : Would you recommend your healthy 65 year old parents consider a chic residence for active, healthy adults? Broaching this topic with my parents is tricky. They are healthy and happy living at home, but they are not in their house often. They go the cottage in the summer, they travel in the winter. They are active, love a social life, but taking care of the house is falling on the kids and even managing their home is less interesting to them. They practically need a hotel room! Am I the only one who sees that a cool residence is a good option for 65+? What do others More >

What do people know? How do they feel? More >

I have un-identical twin girls, and where they aren’t at the separate-bedroom-stage just yet, I was just wondering at what age they start to want their own freedom in the form of their own bedroom?
