Fwd: Reverse Mortgages are not Risk-Free

Consumer Protection Bureau Advises Caution with These Loans The reverse mortgage ads you may have read or seen on TV sound like great solutions to older homeowners' financial strain, but can you trust them? Not entirely, warns the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Many of these ads lead seniors to believe reverse mortgages are risk-free. If you're thinking of getting a reverse mortgage, learn what the ads don't tell you and what the risks are first. If you or a loved one already has a reverse mortgage, take these three steps to protect yourself and make a plan for the future.   If you have questions, contact us.

Fwd: Looking for Affordable Housing? Beware of Section 8 Scams

Phony Waiting Lists Take Fees; The Real Ones Never Do If you know someone who needs public housing assistance, make sure he or she knows about the Section 8 housing scams that prey on home-seekers. The scams use websites that look like registration sites for Section 8 waiting list lotteries. They take people's "registration fee" money, their personal information, and their chance to register for the real lottery—since these hopefuls usually don't know they've been scammed until the real waiting list is closed. There is never a fee to register for a real Section 8 waiting list. To sign up for one, contact your local public housing authority. And for more information on finding an affordable home, visit our new USA.gov "beta" site—a work in progress!     If you have questions, contact us.
