It's that time of year again when we all spend a little bit too much in the knowledge that we can chip into our equity again after Christmas and get another little debt consolidation loan. Except this year it's different. This year sees a change to things as we've known them for the last decade or so. In the U.S. the sub-prime lending fiasco has caused quakes around the world in various financial

First and foremost, you must have a mortgage consultant in your corner that is willing to take the time to know what your long-term goals are. Communication is the key factor here. Curious prospective home buyers sometimes turn to Internet-based services just to see what current interest rates are. But a faceless web site will not take the prospect's future financial planning into consideration

One of the things that we always explain to senior borrowers when they ask about reverse mortgages is that they are non-recourse loans. The next question is always, What is a non-recourse loan?. This is a very important feature of the reverse mortgage and I want to take a moment to explain just what non-recourse means and how that affects senior borrowers who get reverse mortgages.Simply put, a

Reverse Mortgages are not short term, hard money, bridge or balloon loans normally associated with the type of loans people are forced to get to stop a foreclosure proceeding. But for seniors aged 62 and over, a reverse mortgage can be a life-line that rescues the seniors in danger of losing their homes to foreclosure. Many seniors are faced with rising living costs with which their fixed

Isn't it a delight that potential problems are preceded by potential solutions?. Somehow modern financial thought is likewise. There are many financial challenges that one faces, but luckily there are solutions to that problem. Borrowing too much can be a common example. That is where bankruptcy proceedings can be the way out. Not a pretty way out, but a way out nonetheless. Then again there
