 Straight forward and to the point reading
Greg Patti's book offers a quick and "no nonsense" approach to reverse mortgages. I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking information on this topic. Great read for seniors!
Reverse Mortgages by Greg Patti- A Great Usable Guide
I first discovered this book through the author's website, but it's nice to also find it here on Amazon. Anyway, with aging parents and in-laws, I was looking ahead for ways to help pay for the inevitable long term health care expenses that's coming around the corner. I'm talking upwards of $5000 per month...each! So after some hunting around the net, I discovered reverse mortgages and found Greg Patti's book.
He talks about the most common scenarios, offers a decision chart, and gives real recommendations as to how to get your payouts. I like the stuff on how not to get ripped off. As far as I could tell he's not selling RMs, so I reckon he's real about his recommendations. It's pretty easy to read, but he's also got "executive summary" versions available if you're too lazy to read this one. Looks like it costs a bit more here compared to other RM books, but it's cheap enough. The info coming from someone of his financial background makes it justifiable.
GREAT reference!
I'd heard of reverse mortgages but hadn't seriously thought about them because it seemed that all the places where I could get information were actually selling something. Also, who has the time to spend 60 hours researching a mortgage? This book is perfect because the author is not trying to sell a reverse mortgage and has a tremendous financial background. All the information I need is packaged in one easy reference with lots of advice on who to contact if you want further information on a topic. I loved the "Quick Answers" section because I managed to pick out the questions that would allow me to decide whether I even want to delve further into the concept. Let's face it, if I don't have to learn about mortgages, I'd rather not. But I was able to quickly determine that yes, a reverse mortgage would be a really great thing for my parents. The large text is great for my dad who's vision isn't what it used to be. Lots of examples. Breaks down complicated and confusing concepts into easy to digest tables and bullets. This book doesn't just lay out the facts, it gives great recommendations and tips. Shows actual forms so you can get comfortable with the process. Gives you the list of all the things you'll need to get a loan, questions to ask your broker, and definitions of the financial jargon. Great book. Highly recommended.
Reverse mortgages-Patti
I particularly like the large print as this book is intended or seniors to read. Very easy to understand and had great money saving ideas. It would be nice if this book would be available in spanish. I know several hispancic seniors that would benefit from the information in this book.

The Right Stuff - a really good guide
What I needed on this topic was a well laid out and readable guide that gives me the right information without overwhelming me with details. This book does a good job of that. Right up front was a great idea, give me the FAQs in the first few pages, and then tell me what chapter to look in for the details. I also like the way he clearly identifies and summarizes the key concepts for the section you're reading on the left hand page. This book made a complex topic pretty easy to understand and the structure of it also makes it easy to go back and find something later. This is the best of the books I've seen on Reverse Mortages.
