(Jo)Most of ourlisteners know that I love to talk about my amazing mortgage clients.They had taught me so much over the years with how they respond whenlife throws its curve balls.
Today,though, I would like to share a personal family story. One very coldday in March of 2013, more than just the frigid air caused a chill torun up and down my neck. I had tried repeatedly hour after hour tocall my mother at home and there was no answer at the house and noton her cell phone either. Something was wrong. I got in my car andstarted driving the hour and a half to get to her house out in thecountry.
WhenI got out of my car, I could hear her cries for help coming from thegarage. She had fallen over five hours earlier and fractured herhip. The ambulance came and the doctors took over. Combined withMother’s other medical challenges, the fractured hip meant Motherwould never be able to live alone.
Likemany families, my sister and I had to make some snappy decisions. Mysister worked in the health care field and arranged for Mother tomove to an assisted living facility following her rehab. It wasobviously going to be a long-term expense and I knew we couldn’topt for a short-term solution to a long term problem to help coverthe costs.
Wesold some items and stored others and rented Mother’s house totenants who paid enough rent to help offset some of Mother’sexpenses. I told Mother, “ You took such good care of your housefor so many years. Now it is time for your house to take care ofyou.” Forus, getting ongoing rental income from Mother’s house was theperfect long-term solution to match the long-term challenge.
Todaymother lives in a tiny house close to family and friends where shegets 24/7 help and can enjoy having her own home again. She callsthe tiny house her “doll house.” After a few years staying inthe assisted living facility, Mother’s situation changed and buying a tiny house later became a better solution for Mother and much forcost-effective too.

This treatment is focused on comfort andquality because curative treatments may not be an option. Hospicecare can be provided anywhere patients call home, including theirhome, nursing home and our BaptistReynolds Hospice House.
Hospicecare includes routine care, general inpatient care and respite care.Respite care is short-term care that can be provided based on thepatient/family’s need. A nurse and the medical director recommendthe appropriate level of care for patients. Short-term inpatient caremay be necessary for better management of pain and symptoms.
HomeCare: Baptist also provides in-home hospice services through WestTennessee and North Mississippi under the Baptist Home Care andHospice and Baptist Home Care and Hospice name.

___________________________________________________________
TOPICSCOVERED BY JO GARNER, MORTGAGE LOAN OFFICER
- What mortgage programs are popular for older borrowers making transitions in housing arrangements:
- Reverse Mortgage- Let me introduce you to Ms. Opal Osborn. Let’s start with Opal Osborn’s story. Ms. Osborn’s husband of 50 years had passed away. She did not have much money left after her husband’s death, but she owned her home worth about $175,000 free and clear.
Herson called me after listening to Real Estate Mortgage Shoppe, radioshow I host, and told me his mother wanted desperately to continueliving in her home but needed money to make some repairs and, afterher husband passed away, she lost some of the income they had beenenjoying. She was going to be forced to move unless we could find asolution.
Afterchecking into some things, we were able to get Ms. Osborn approvedfor a reverse mortgage where she could get part of the money upfrontto make the needed repairs on her home and then she could receiveincome each month from the reverse mortgage program. The reversemortgage was a god-send for Ms. Osborn.
- Cash Out Refinance vs Home Equity Line of Credit:
LindaLovelace’s story
- Linda Lovelace (not her real name) called me and told me that she and her adult daughter were pondering some options around possible living arrangements once Linda retired from her career. They were trying to decide whether Linda should downsize and buy a smaller home or invite her daughter and son-in-law to go in together with her to buy a larger home with a mother-in-law wing and sell Linda’s home.
Ms.Lovelace called me with this dilemma-should I stay or should I go? Her daughter’s family really liked the old home place whereLinda was already living. They liked the land and the pond and woodsout back and the layout of the house.
- Ms. Lovelace had a licensed contractor come out to her current home and look at the feasibility and costs of separate living unit to the existing homeplace so that Linda could have her private space separate from other family members.
Thefamily looked at other homes and got estimates on what it would costwith money down and payments per month on other homes with the rightlayout and proximity to work and shopping and doctor’s offices.They compared these numbers to what it would costs to remodel and addthe extra living space onto Linda’s existing home. The decisionended up being to make the modifications to the old home place andfor everyone to live in remodeled existing home instead of moving.
Theycompared doing a cash out refinance on the home to get the funds toremodel or getting an interest-only home equity line of credit tocover the costs of remodeling.
Hereare some questions they considered when deciding between using afixed rate cash out refinance vs a variable rate home equity line:
- Cash out Refinance on fixed rate mortgage-How long did they plan on keeping the home? If they planned on keeping the home for 5 years or more, the fixed rate cash out scored some positive points because the interest rate risk was zero since the rate would be fixed and would never go up. With the right pricing on the cash out refinance, keeping the house for five years or more justified the investment for the refinance cost.
- Variable-rate Home Equity Line- Could Ms. Lovelace afford to liquidate some of her investments to pay off a variable rate home equity line of the market rates started shooting upward? With more-than-adequate investments over and above what would be needed to cover living expenses, the variable rate equity line might work if the home equity line did not include any upfront cost. Ms. Lovelace told me her investments were in a retirement fund. She said, she was not comfortable getting a home equity line with a rate where payments could go up because she did not ever want to be forced to liquidate a large chunk of her retirement fund to have to pay off a variable rate credit line if the payments got too high for her to handle. She said she did not like the possible tax ramifications.
- Researching Cost For Remodel-Ms. Lovelace and her family considered what changes or upgrades they needed to make to the old homeplace to get the looks and layout to work for their family and the separate wing where Ms. Lovelace would live. She wanted to go ahead and make her part of the home wheel-chair accessible with other handicap accessible features, like grab bars in the bathroom and a walk-in tub etc.
Thefamily did some comparisons with professional cost estimates ofrenovation and remodeling to stay in the old home.
Theyconsidered how long it would take to get the renovations completed
Theyconsulted with some real estate professionals to make sure therenovations would not cause their home to be overbuilt compared toother homes in their neighborhood. They did not want to make itdifficult to resell and get their investment back one day.
- Using Rental Income From The Existing Home to Fund Other Living Arrangements:
Earlierin this show I shared a personal family story about the day our liveswere changed, and my Mother’s life was changed too, in an instant. My sister and I were faced with some very big decisions that we hadto make really quickly. I remembered some wisdom that a financialadvisor had given to me years ago. “Never use a short-termsolution to solve a long-term problem.”
Mymother suddenly needed help with everyday living, and she would needhelp for a very long time. In trying to decide how to help fund herassistance, it was clear that selling her home was notthe long-term solution we needed. Shehad taken good care of her house for many years. Nowit was time for her house to take care of her.We hired a reputable property managementcompany to put some quality tenants in Mother’s house. The rentincome from her home has helped fund the cost of Mother’s care foryears in an assisted living facility. Later she was able to get herown little tiny house near friends and family members.
