A reverse mortgage is a product available to homeowners age 62 and older who have paid off their mortgage or have only a small balance. The reverse mortgage works by giving the homeowner the equity they have accumulated in the form of a lump sum payment, monthly installments, or as a line of credit. Homeowners pay only their homeowners insurance and property taxes, and the cash is tax-free. Loan eligibility is based on the age of the youngest borrower, and all borrowers must continue to live in the home. Upon their passing, the borrower's heirs can keep the home and repay the balance of the loan, or sell the home to a non-related third party.

Guest Post: Storage to Rent in London
Here on Table for Five I like to provide useful information to all of my readers, including the ones overseas! This guest post from Henfield Self Storage has links and info for my London readers who might be finding that their "Spring Cleaning" includes moving items out of their houses and into storage.

Broadly speaking, the storage room suits customers who need regular and easy access to their goods; the container suits those who just want to have the goods taken away for a period of … [Read more...]
Website Review – Fast Water Heater Co.
If you live in California, Oregon, or Washington and own a home, this post might be useful to you. I live in Michigan so I can't recommend this company personally, but I do own a hot water heater that broke down last year, and finding a company that could come right out and fix it wasn't as easy as I thought. When you have no hot water at all, hearing someone say "we can come out in four days" is really not helpful. Fast Water Heater Co. asked me to let my readers know that they really are fast - call before noon and you can usually get someone out that same day. Whether you have a traditional or tankless water heater, San Francisco Bay Area residents as well as residents of service areas in Oregon and Washington can get fast service including getting a new water heater installed and the processing of any required permits based on where you live. You can read more about what to expect from a Fast Water Heater service call by reading the appropriately named "What to Expect" page on … [Read more...]
