April 1, 2020

Animated Videos Teach Consumers the Advantages of Using Home Equity

ORANGE, Calif. (April 1, 2020) – In honor of National Financial Literacy Month, American Advisors Group (AAG), the leading provider of home equity solutions for retirement, will be releasing a series of animated educational videos that teach Americans how to use their home equity as a financial tool to complement their retirement accounts. AAG will be releasing information filled videos throughout April along with additional educational resources and articles regarding financial literacy and how home equity can be used as a retirement resource. The first video, titled “Piggy Bank,” can be seen here.

“This is the first time AAG has used this type of approach to share our knowledge of retirement solutions,” said AAG Chief Marketing Officer, Martin Lenoir. “Especially in uncertain times like these, when the stock market is down and volatile, education around the use of home equity could be vital for seniors around the country. These videos will give simple explanations of reverse mortgage loans, help dispel some of the myths, and illustrate the different strategies that can help seniors have a better retirement.”

Each video will discuss a variety of reverse mortgage-based topics with the goal of making the process of accessing home equity as understandable and approachable as possible—topics include vital first-step information, different stages of the loan process, and setting the record straight about some common reverse mortgage misconceptions. Below are the titles of the five videos in the order of their scheduled release:

1. “Piggy Bank” – What is a Reverse Mortgage?

2. “What’s Next?” –Understanding the Reverse Mortgage Loan Process

3. “Line of Credit” – How Does a Reverse Mortgage Line of Credit Work?

4. “Myths” – Common Reverse Mortgage Myths Debunked

5. “Swiss Army Knife” – Reverse Mortgage Retirement Strategies

AAG’s explainer videos will be released on AAG.com along with the company’s YouTube channel and all company social media platforms, including AAG’s Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. Videos will also be available to AAG’s loan officers to help borrowers better understand the company’s products and how they can benefit one’s retirement.

In 2004, the US Senate passed Resolution 316, which officially recognized April as National Financial Literacy Month. The goal of National Financial Literacy Month is to highlight the importance of establishing and maintaining healthy financial habits.

AAG’s products and services are focused on helping older Americans strategically and responsibly utilize their home equity to supplement their retirement income.

For Reverse Loans: When the loan is due and payable, some or all of the equity in the property that is the subject of the reverse mortgage no longer belongs to borrowers, who may need to sell the home or otherwise repay the loan with interest from other proceeds. The lender may charge an origination fee, mortgage insurance premium, closing costs and servicing fees (added to the balance of the loan). The balance of the loan grows over time and the lender charges interest on the balance. Borrowers are responsible for paying property taxes, homeowner’s insurance, maintenance, and related taxes (which may be substantial). We do not establish an escrow account for disbursements of these payments. A set-aside account can be set up to pay taxes and insurance and may be required in some cases. Borrowers must occupy home as their primary residence and pay for ongoing maintenance; otherwise the loan becomes due and payable. The loan also becomes due and payable (and the property may be subject to a tax lien, other encumbrance, or foreclosure) when the last borrower, or eligible non-borrowing surviving spouse, dies, sells the home, permanently moves out, defaults on taxes, insurance payments, or maintenance, or does not otherwise comply with the loan terms. Interest is not tax-deductible until the loan is partially or fully repaid.
