Actually Jim, I think the things I am gonna mention are what are called
reverse mortgages.

My dad (going on 68) is contemplating taking both of his residences and
reverse mortgaging them. Apparently the bank gives him money ahead of time
for the value of the house (a little less than market value) and upon his
death, the property is immediately transferred to the mortgage company. I
may be a little bit off on the explanation but it is kinda my understanding
of how it works. I guess this way he gets the opportunity to enjoy the
money/value of the residences now, while he is still alive, as opposed to
leaving it to my sister and I.


Trust me, that is a better solution.
