YOUR FINANCES:

Arizona Home Equity Specialists

While Arizona Home Equity Specialists can provide their clients several financing options, their primary area of expertise involves Reverse Mortgages.

 

Reverse Mortgages are available to persons aged 62+ and are very popular to qualifying homeowners as they can convert the equity in their homes into immediate cash.  The funds received from a Reverse Mortgage can then provide the Senior with the financial security they need to enjoy their retirement years.

 

The Reverse Mortgage is aptly named because the payment stream from the lender is reversed.  Instead of the Senior making monthly payments to the lender (as with a first mortgage), the lender actually makes payments back to the homeowner.

 

The key benefits of a Reverse Mortgage to qualifying homeowners are:

  • the funds that the Senior receives can be used for any purpose, such as daily living expenses, home repairs and upgrades, uncovered medical bills and prescriptions, paying off other debts, traveling, long term care, etc. 
  • the Senior continues to remain in their home and still holds the title to the home
  • there are no income or minimum credit requirements to qualify
  • all existing loans presently registered against the home can be paid off, leaving the Senior with no monthly payments on the home

For more information on the Reverse Mortgage offered by Arizona Home Equity Specialists, please contact either Ken Fuller or Gary Marcus at (480) 266-7063.  You can also reach us on our website at www.azhes.net

LTCi Consulting LLC

While not a subject many Seniors want to think about, spending your later years in a nursing home is a reality that many Americans will experience.  The costs associated with the provision of long term care is already expensive and they are continuing to escalate annually at a significant rate.

 

Given these costs, any lengthy stay in a nursing home could exhaust a family's assets just keeping up with these ongoing payments.  For some of us, protection against this situation could best be addressed through Long Term Care insurance.

 

LTCi Consulting LLC specializes in Long Term care insurance and can offer both advice and professional services in this area.  For more information, please visit our website at www.ltciconsulting.com or call Bryan Herdt at (480) 280-3800 (Email bherdt@ltciconsulting.com)

 

SCAN Health Plan

For more than 30 years SCAN Health Plan has been focusing on the unique needs of seniors. SCAN is a not-for-profit health plan dedicated to providing comprehensive medical coverage, prescription benefits and support services specifically designed to meet the needs of people on Medicare.

SCAN was founded in 1977 by a group of seniors who were frustrated by their lack of access to services and who wanted an organization that addressed their specific needs. These forward-thinking seniors formed the Senior Care Action Network, now known as SCAN Health Plan. The goal of the organization then was the same as it is today: to continue to find innovative ways to enhance seniors' ability to manage their health and to continue to control where and how they live. Since its inception, SCAN has provided the care needed to keep more than 50,000 seniors out of nursing homes. Today, SCAN is thriving and is one of the fastest growing health plans in the markets it serves.
