I was happy to see the reverse mortgage industry get some good press from ABC’s Good Morning America earlier in the week (thanks Jean!).  After the senate hearing a few weeks ago it seemed like all the press was bashing our industry.  If you didn’t get a chance to catch it, check out the video here.  

Also take a look at the comments from the article (57 when I posted this)… people seemed to be upset that she mentioned you shouldn’t have a mortgage balance.  I understand this complaint but the video was very positive and our industry needs more of this.  My personal favorite comment was:

Something’s got to provide Mr. and Mrs. America the means to keep the status quo, otherwise down they’ll go….homeless and on the street. God Bless Reverse Mortgages!

Amen.
