Reverse Market Insight beat us to the punch with this one. During the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association’s road show last week, John Nixon, an executive at Bank of America said 62 year olds were the most common among recent reverse mortgage borrowers and I was a bit stunned.

“What that tells me is we have early adoption among seniors,” said Nixon during the general session. To see a larger version of the image click here.
