Beau Henderson sits down with Don Graves, a nationally recognized expert on reverse mortgages, to demystify one of retirement planning's most misunderstood tools: home equity.

Beau and Don challenge the long-held stigmas around reverse mortgages, explaining how modern Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECMs) can unlock significant tax-free retirement income, increase flexibility, and reduce financial stress. Don lays out real-world strategies to convert home equity into a powerful fourth bucket of wealth, working alongside income, investments, and insurance.

Key takeaways include:

โœ…  How the modern reverse mortgage is "just a mortgage" โ€“ not the risky tool people fear
โœ…  Using housing wealth to defer Social Security and reduce taxation
โœ…  Eliminating mandatory mortgage payments to free up cash flow
โœ…  Planning for the "certainty of uncertainty" in retirement
โœ…  The growing line of credit that increases access over time

If you feel stuck between financial freedom and the fear of running out of money, this conversation could reshape how you view one of your biggest assets. Don's signature humor and expertise make complex strategies feel simple and empowering.

Reverse mortgages arenโ€™t for everyone. But they deserve more than dismissal. As Don and Beau emphasize, financial freedom means using all your tools strategically. The home might be the ace you didnโ€™t know you had.
