Reverse Focus Weekly Podcast Episode #333
Reverse mortgage news coverage has been on the uptick with a most recent article from Investopedia noting five reverse mortgage alternatives. In this week’s Reverse Focus podcast, Shannon Hicks talks about the Investopedia coverage, as well as a recent investment News article that has a more positive take on reverse mortgages—namely that they have a place in retirement planning.
Hicks also delves into a recent report regarding appraisals, with the finding that 17% of appraisals today do not match the sales price. Appraisers becoming more conservative is one suggested reason for the discrepancy.
The podcast also highlights the latest from Ginnie Mae, including new issuer requirements for forward and reverse mortgage securities issuers. Hear from Hicks as to the details by tuning in.
