FINALLY! THE HONEST TRUTH BEHIND THE REVERSE MORTGAGE

by Travis Schultz, Owner and Licensed Mortgage Broker, Smart Mortgage

A

re reverse mortgages not all they’re cracked up to be? Can they truly add the stability you need for financial planning and your retirement, or are they just another way to steal away your home, equity or inheritance? Since the product began back in 1989, local Prescott reverse mortgage expert Travis Schultz at Smart Mortgage says we may be surprised with the honest truth behind the reverse mortgage!

•

•

•

•

•

No mortgage payments for life? – (True) As long as either spouse considers the property as his or her primary home, they can live there for life paying zero mortgage payments.

All applicants must be 62 years old or older – (False) Only one spouse needs to be 62 years old. The other spouse may be younger.

You must own your home outright – (False) You may already have an existing mortgage, which can be refinanced and paid off with a reverse mortgage.

The income or cash I receive is not taxable – (True) Any money you receive, whether monthly, a cash sum or in a home equity line is all nontaxable to do with as you wish.

You must have good credit and income for a reverse mortgage – (False) Since re-

•

•

verse mortgages do not require a mortgage payment, almost anyone with any type of credit and income may be eligible.

Once into the reverse mortgage you are locked into it, permanently – (False) The reverse mortgage is simply a loan recorded against the property, just like every other mortgage. You retain full ownership, so at any time you can move, sell or refinance the property simply by paying off the mortgage balance.

If I take out a reverse mortgage, I will leave nothing for my family – (False) Reverse mortgages have insurance automatically built in to protect the family.

Most homes continue to increase in value over time, leaving even more equity for family. Even if property values decrease below what is owed, the family can acquire the property for 5% less than market value.

You can only get a reverse mortgage on a one-unit home – (False) Smart Mortgage also allows reverse mortgages on manufactured homes, duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, townhomes and condos, as long as one unit is considered your primary residence.

My family will be responsible for the debt – (False) The reverse mortgage is a non-recourse loan, so if your value ever

•

•

falls below what you owe, your family will never have to pay the deficiency.

The government or lender will own my home – (False) The reverse mortgage is simply a lien recorded against the property, just like any other mortgage. The homeowner(s) remains on title and has full ownership. The owner(s) may also add other family members or place the home in a trust, so family automatically has ownership in the property and equity, as well.

You can purchase a home using a reverse mortgage – (True) Smart Mortgage allows you to purchase a primary home and the financed amount has no payments for life.

Whiskey Row Back Alley Mural PHOTOS COURTESY: BOB SHANKS

P

rescott celebrated the unveiling of the new Whiskey Row Back Alley Mural with a ribbon cutting on Friday the 13th of December. The mural was created by artists Julie Hutchins and Dana Cohen.

Take a moment to read the excerpt from the “Whiskey Row Island” plaque near the back entrance to The Palace on your next visit.

“The alley between South Montezuma and South Granite streets has seen all aspects of life Prescott, from

the horse drawn wagon deliveries of the 19th century to the modern day pedestrian-oriented development of the alley as an asset to Downtown Prescott. Although the infamous 19th century ”red light” district of the past is gone, and the businesses along Whiskey Row are now much different, the alley still serves its original purpose of giving access to the rear entries of the businesses all Whiskey Row and now to the city’s modern nearby parking garage completed in 2001.”

Then “Turn Back Time” with Heidi Thompson as the diva herself, Cher, as she makes you “Believe” and relive decades of musical memories to please any “Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves!”

You’ll have a blast during the audience participation-friendly “I Got You Babe” when Cher looks for her Sonny or vie for the chance to be a back-up dancer for Cher’s hit song “Shoop Shoop,” from the movie Mermaids. Beautiful costume changes, duets, and creative banter enhance this wonderful mixture of blue-eyedsoul and diva pop! If you love some “Old Time Rock-N-Roll” and your “beat is still goin’ on,” then join the #1 tribute to Bill Medley and Cher for this oncein-a-lifetime show!

ASK JUDY YOUR REAL ESTATE QUESTIONS Dear Judy, My wife and I have a beautiful luxury home that we plan on selling this year.

The kitchen and master bathroom have granite and dark cabinets but could use updating. We are thinking of the white cabinets and white granite, which is so in style and new high-end appliances. I have had two contractors come out and the bids range from $90-130,000 to remodel! The third contractor came out and his bid came in at that price range, but he advised us not to upgrade and just lower the price when we list. We were surprised because we thought we should renovate to bring us the best sales price.

What do you recommend?

~ Confused Joe Dear Confused Joe: You are right to believe that putting around $100,000-plus into your kitchen and master bath will bring a higher sales price.

The real question is this: will you get that money back this year when you sell it? Probably not. Usually when it comes to updating, we need to be in the house many years for it to pay off. So without seeing your home. I would go with the advice from the third contractor. But having a realistic list price is key.

Hope this helps! And saves you money.

An Introduction to Cigars...

By Cameron McNabb

From Winston Churchill, to Sean Connery, to J.F.K., to John Wayne...all these men, as well as countless others throughout history, have had one thing in common...their love of a good cigar.

What is it about smoking a premium cigar that can unite so many people from different backgrounds & time periods you may ask??? Well, to sum it up in one word, MANLINESS! There’s almost nothing that so embodies what is means to be a “man’s man” so to speak than enjoying a fine cigar coupled with a good single malt Scotch or a fine Cognac.

Encase you may be new to the wonderful world of cigars, let’s explain what exactly a cigar is. A cigar is a rolled bundle of dried & fermented tobacco leaves made to be smoked. There are 3 parts of a cigar. The Foot, (the part you light), The Body, and The Head (the part you smoke). The head is capped off by the wrapper leaf so you’ll need to either cut part of the head off - (with a cigar cutter), or poke a hole in the head - (with a cigar punch), before smoking it.

For a cigar to stay fresh, it must be kept in a humid environment. That’s where a humidor comes into play. A humidor is a humidity-controlled box used for storing cigars. It maintains a steady, desirable, moisture level & it also protects your cigars.

For detailed instructions on how to properly smoke a cigar, as well as proper cigar etiquette, visit Arizona-Cigars.com where you’ll find several cigar-related articles and instructional information. In addition to a fine selection of premium cigars, you’ll also find all the essential cigar accessories such as humidors, cutters, punches, lighters, ashtrays, and more!!!

Visit Arizona-Cigars.com, based out of Prescott, & check out our special “Starter” packs starting at only $185. Our starter pack has everything you need to start enjoying cigars either by yourself after a long day’s work, or with your family and friends. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!

here was a sea of umbrellas in the dimly lit plaza as the preliminary activities took place. Rain gently fell prior to the formal lighting of the Courthouse. Local students provided some festive songs for the soggy event. Prescott Mayor Pro Tem Billie Orr spoke about our wonderful community and Ken Bennett read the Christmas story of the birth of Jesus. As he finished the plaza came ablaze with Christmas lights. There was quite a large crowd that braved the light rain during the event.

January weather

J

anuary weather can be pretty unpredictable in Prescott, Arizona. The average coldest day of the year is January 4.

Throughout the month, you can have temps as low as single digits (usually around 26º), yet highs in the 60’s and even 70’s. It can even be warm enough to sail!

In January, 2018*, the average temperature was 61ºF. In January 2019, the average temperature was 53º. This year, the average high temperature is predicted to be 52º.

Did you know?

One of the first electric airplanes in the world, called Alice and developed by Eviation Aircraft, the U.S. headquarters are right here in Prescott, Arizona!

Winner of Time Magazine’s Best Inventions of 2019, the first planned flight for Alice is in 2020.

What isn’t unusual is to have a very dry January - there was no rain or snow in either 2018 or 2019. This year, 3 days of possible precipitation are predicted. We’ll have to wait and see! *Based on data by Accuweather.com

Whiskey Row Back Alley Mural December 13

REWIND

TEXT AND PHOTOS COURTESY: BOB SHANKS

F

riday the 13th was a great day for a Chamber ribbon cutting held to celebrate the official unveiling of the “Whisky Row Back Alley Mural.”

“The alley between South Montezuma and South Granite streets has seen all aspects of life Prescott, from the horse drawn wagon deliveries of the 19th century to the modern day pedestrian-oriented development of the alley as an asset to Downtown Prescott. Although the infamous 19th century ”red light” district of the past is gone, and the businesses along Whiskey Row are now much different, the alley still serves its original purpose of giving access to the rear entries of the businesses all Whiskey Row and now to the city’s modern nearby parking garage completed in 2001.”

This excerpt is taken from the “Whiskey Row Island” plaque just outside the back entrance to “The Palace” where the ribbon cutting ceremony was held.
