NRMLA Hosts Free Webinar Series for Reverse Mortgage Education Week

WASHINGTON, April 23, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Tomorrow through Friday, April 27, as part of its third annual Reverse Mortgage Education Week, the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association will host a series of free informational webinars for older homeowners and their loved ones, and the professionals who provide services to meet their retirement needs. During each online seminar, experts will explain scenarios when home equity can be used to supplement savings and support aging in place. 

"Funding a long retirement has become the premier challenge of aging in America, making it crucial that people are aware of the full range of financial options that may be available to them later in life. NRMLA's Education Week brings together experts from across industries to present situations when proceeds from a reverse mortgage loan can solve discrete funding needs--such as paying for in-home care or purchasing a new home--and for longer term goals, including ongoing financial management," said NRMLA President and CEO Peter Bell.
