Financial Stress & Debt

Inflation and high-interest rates have made financial stability a challenge for many of us, or someone we know, especially when high-interest debt adds to the burden. Our older relatives too – being parents, aunt, uncle, friend – are finding it tough to live a comfortable and enriching life, often on a limited income.

If high interest debt is draining your cash flow, refinancing your mortgage may be the right solution. Moving that debt to a lower rate mortgage gives you one manageable lower payment, a cash flow boost, interest savings, and a much needed financial fresh start. If refinancing isn’t possible, there are other options.

If someone you care about aged 60+ is getting by on a limited income while having strong equity in the home they want to remain in, they can create reliable monthly income and take a lump sum from that equity. A reverse mortgage is a way to pay off one’s mortgage or HELOC, pay for renovations, health care expenses, travel, or to help a child or grandchild. It’s a mortgage in reverse: instead of making payments, you receive payments.

A mortgage review may be all that is needed. We may turn up an opportunity that can save you money or help you better reach your goals.
