SUMMARY: Looking for mortgage experts to weigh in on how a reverse mortgage affects generational wealth

CATEGORY: Business and Finance

NAME: Sharon Wu

MEDIA OUTLET: CBS News

DEADLINE DATE: 2025-03-04

DEADLINE TIME: 05:00 pm

TIME ZONE: Pacific Standard Time

QUERY: I'm working with CBS News to write an informative article about how a reverse mortgage affects generational wealth.

I need US-based experts (e.g. mortgage lenders, loan officers, sales managers of a mortgage company, etc.) to share unique insights.

Please don't message to pitch sources — if this is up, I'm still accepting pitches. I'm looking for helpful answers I can incorporate right away as we're on a tight deadline.

To be considered, please answer the following questions (all or the ones you can answer):

1. How specifically does a reverse mortgage impact generational wealth and inheritance?

2. What are the primary pros and cons of reverse mortgages when considering family wealth preservation?

3. In what situations would you recommend a reverse mortgage despite potential impacts on inheritance?

4. What are 3-4 alternatives to reverse mortgages and why/how do each safeguard generational wealth? (e.g., HELOCs, home equity loans, etc)

5. What should families consider before deciding between immediate financial needs and long-term wealth transfer?

6. What common mistakes do you see homeowners make when taking out reverse mortgages that affect their heirs?

7. How can homeowners minimize the negative effects of a reverse mortgage on their estate?

Finally, please provide:

1) your role/title, a link to your LinkedIn profile, and company website

2) a good email to follow up if needed (MUST be the source’s email if you are a PR company/rep)

IMPORTANT: We can’t accept/use AI-written responses, or responses you’ve already submitted elsewhere (we WILL check so please don’t waste anyone’s time). Also, I’m not looking for surface-level information easily found online. These questions are meant more as a guide to get more nuanced, in-depth expertise from you :) Please share relevant common hypothetical scenarios or client experiences to back up answers.
