Professor Jamie Hopkins comes on The Resilient Advisor Podcast with Jay Coulter to discuss how sophisticated financial advisors are using home equity as a tool in retirement plans. Jamie has been featured on Consuelo Mack’s PBS show WealthTrack (Link), Forbes (Link) and MarketWatch.
Reverse mortgages are not what they used to be. This episode is very informative for any financial advisor or financial planner who is stuck in the dogma that the industry has around these tools. You owe it to your clients to understand how these work and how they can help your clients have better outcomes in retirement.
