Exceptional Insight of Barry Sacks, Esq. on Reverse Mortgages

My guest, Barry Sacks, has spent 35 years as an ERISA attorney, a lawyer who specializes in qualified retirement plans… helping people save enough for retirement and then helping them structure income during retirement. A few years ago he discovered a role for a reverse mortgage that no one had ever considered before… he used it to make a retirement portfolio last longer.

So, he published his findings in professional journals and went on the lecture circuit speaking in front of financial planners, CPAs and other professionals from all over the country.

As he gained an in-depth understanding of the reverse mortgage he made monetary comparisons few if any had done before, and he found tax advantages that could be inherited by a borrower’s heirs, that wouldn’t be possible otherwise. His conclusions showed that the conventional wisdom about reverse mortgages was wrong.

When a number of people read what I wrote about reverse mortgages,
they called and emailed me with the same message:

“You need to talk to Barry Sacks.”
