How a Reverse Mortgage Can Bring You

Financial Security For Life

by xx

Many people living on a retirement fixed income have seen their dream of a secure,

enjoyable retirement dashed thanks to…

√ Unexpected expenses…

√ Just not enough retirement income...

√ Soaring prices on the items they use the most…

√ Higher taxes that take a bigger bite than ever out of your income

And when you don’t have enough money set aside, you can suddenly find yourself unable to

pay those bills… or able to afford many of the things that make life enjoyable during retirement.

The good news is, you now have an alternative that can make those problems go away.

It’s called a Reverse Mortgage. It helps solve the problem of running short of money… and

can help you achieve financial security and peace of mind.

Chances are good that you’re aware of how rising prices are eating away at your hard-

earned savings, pension plan and Social Security.

And that unexpected expenses hit you... or the things you want to do, you just can’t.

How to stop thinking twice about spending money

Unfortunately, too many retirees must think twice about:

• Major expenses such as buying a new car or putting a new roof on your home…

Page 5: SPECIAL ISSUE ON REVERSE MORTGAGES Secure ......A Reverse Mortgage is a unique source of monthly tax-free* “income” for life. It’s a mortgage, based on your home’s value, that

Page 5 of 37

• Taking a cruise or visiting your grandchildren…

• Paying for elective medical procedures that can mean a healthier, happier life…

• Putting in the new heater, air conditioning or sprinkler system you need…

• Indulging in some of life’s pleasures such as dining out with friends, going to a play or

concert, or even just seeing a movie.

• Helping out your children and grandchildren or giving to your church or favorite

charity without worry.

Or downsizing to your dream home or second home

And that’s not even considering unforeseen expenses or emergencies that always seem to

appear at the wrong times.

[Insert “Greatest Advantage” sidebar on page four]

The good news is that thousands of homeowners just like you are enjoying peace of mind

and gaining financial independence and security by turning to the equity they’ve built up in their

homes—and to Reverse Mortgages.

How the new Reverse Mortgages

can save your retirement

A Reverse Mortgage is a unique source of monthly tax-free* “income” for life.

It’s a mortgage, based on your home’s value, that provides you with tax-free* monthly

advances against the equity you’ve built up in your home.

However, unlike a traditional mortgage, you never have to make a payment on the loan as

long as you live in your home. Instead, you receive payments from the lender and repayment is

postponed until you leave the home.

Better yet, the maximum repayment is limited to the fair market value of your home at the

time it is sold—regardless of how much the lender has loaned you. This protects you and your

heirs from any unexpected expenses.

In other words, a Reverse Mortgage can provide you with the money you need to enjoy a

safe, secure retirement without ever having to worry about making another house payment.

6 Powerful Advantages that May Surprise You

A Reverse Mortgage offers many unique advantages that most people are never told about.

These additional benefits can improve your life dramatically... it’s like your house paying you

back for all the years you’ve paid for it.

Page 6: SPECIAL ISSUE ON REVERSE MORTGAGES Secure ......A Reverse Mortgage is a unique source of monthly tax-free* “income” for life. It’s a mortgage, based on your home’s value, that

C:¥Users¥user¥Desktop¥CDMG Portfolio¥AAG¥AAG8203_ML_RC2_082715_BJP.doc

Page 6 of 37

Here’s how it works:

Advantage #1: As soon as your loan goes through, your monthly mortgage payments end.

Period. If you pay your tax and insurance, you’ll never make another house payment for

as long as you live in your current home and maintain your other obligations.

Advantage #2: You may get a cash payout — depending on your age and the value of your

home. Take it in monthly payments or in a lump sum. It’s entirely up to you.

Advantage #3: The money you receive is completely TAX-FREE!* It won’t have any

impact on your Social Security payments or Medicare benefits.

[Insert Home Purchase chart]

Advantage #4: A Reverse Mortgage can help you buy a new home when it’s time to right

size to a smaller or lower maintenance home.

You simply combine the proceeds from your home’s sale with a Reverse Mortgage on your

new home. You get the home you want — without the monthly mortgage payment. And you

often wind up with a significant amount of money left over.

For example, suppose you own a home worth $500,000 and wish to move to a new home

that’s selling for $350,000. You sell your current home and then use $200,000 of the proceeds

for a down payment. You also use $150,000 from a Reverse Mortgage for purchase to complete

the new home purchase.

You are left with $300,000 to use as you please — and you have no monthly mortgage

payments.

[Insert Social Security Benefits Estimator]

Advantage #5: A Reverse Mortgage can help you delay receiving Social Security benefits,

which makes you eligible to receive a larger benefit later in life.

As you know, the longer you hold off on collecting Social Security benefits, the larger your

benefit is.

For example, suppose your monthly Social Security benefit at age 62 is $1,016. By delaying

benefits until age 70, you increase your monthly check to $1,789 — $773 more per month.

Furthermore, since the money you receive from a Reverse Mortgage isn’t considered

income, it doesn’t reduce your Social Security, Medicare or retirement benefits by even a penny.

[Quote Box: pull social security quote]

Advantage #6: A Reverse Mortgage can help you avoid taking money from your stock

market retirement accounts during a market downturn - or any time.

Page 7: SPECIAL ISSUE ON REVERSE MORTGAGES Secure ......A Reverse Mortgage is a unique source of monthly tax-free* “income” for life. It’s a mortgage, based on your home’s value, that

C:¥Users¥user¥Desktop¥CDMG Portfolio¥AAG¥AAG8203_ML_RC2_082715_BJP.doc

Page 7 of 37

When you have the money from a Reverse Mortgage available to you, you can avoid taking

money from your retirement accounts. This can mean you won’t have to take money out of your

account during a market downturn, which can be costly.

Or, keep the money until you need it.

Furthermore, distributions from retirement accounts can be subject to taxation and may

increase your tax liability. However, since the proceeds from a Reverse Mortgage aren’t

considered income, no taxes are due.

[Quote Box: pull investments quote]

How do you qualify for a Reverse Mortgage?

It’s easy to qualify for a Reverse Mortgage. You simply have to meet three conditions:

Condition #1: The borrower on title must be 62 years or older (a non-borrowing spouse

may be under age 62).

Condition #2: The borrower must own the home and meet the financial requirements of

the Reverse Mortgage program

Condition #3: The home must be the borrower’s primary residence

That’s it! Nothing more!

The experts agree: It’s a great concept

This unique financial alternative is quickly catching on among homeowners age 62 and

older, and among financial experts.

It is estimated that XX# Americans now have a reverse mortgage... and AAG is the largest.

√√ John Salter, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Financial Planning at Texas Tech University

says: “It’s going to be more important to look at housing wealth as a resource to sustain

retirement because a house is a big part of a baby boomer’s wealth compared to just

portfolio value. A reverse mortgage is a nice addition for risk management—and for

many people it’s probably going to be a need rather than a want.”

√√ Barbara Hower, a Professor of Gerontology, says: “Using a reverse mortgage to delay

taking Social Security is a very powerful tool. Determining when to take Social

Security is probably one of the most important decisions a retiree makes because it’s

lifetime income. So, if you can use reverse mortgage proceeds to delay taking Social

Security benefits for as long as possible, that provides you with greater monthly

income.”

friends ask is would do it myself and the answer is not only would I, I have. And I'm

very very pleased with the result. It has really made my life in retirement a great

pleasure. It enabled me not to worry.”

How you can live off of your home, and stay in it, too—5 powerful Guarantees

To take advantage of all these benefits, you may want to consider American Advisor

Group’s (AAG) Reverse Mortgage.

AAG has helped thousands of Americans eliminate their existing mortgages, pay off debt,

cover medical expenses and enjoy their retirement more by offering them a special Reverse

Mortgage loan.

If you are 62 or older and own a home, you will probably qualify to receive five powerful

guarantees:

Guarantee #1: You’ll receive monthly tax-free* income for life.

Let’s say you are 75 years old and own a home independently assessed by a real estate

appraiser to be worth $500,000. With AAG’s Reverse Mortgage, you could receive $xx per

month for as long as you live in your home.

[Insert box: testimonial for the above]

[Insert “Special Focus” sidebar across the bottom of the page

that contains the paragraph below]

In addition, you may set up a reserve account (like a line of credit for emergencies) and/or

receive a lump sum of money giving you added financial security (see the article below for

examples).

Guarantee #2: You’ll have no payments due during your lifetime as long as

you live in your home.

Like many other homeowners age 62 and over, you’ve made mortgage payments for years.

But with this plan, as long as you live in your home, you’ll have no repayment obligation. That

means no new monthly loan payments for you to make, ever.

[Insert box: testimonial]

Guarantee #3: You’ll retain full ownership of your home, along with the

benefits of appreciation.

With AAG’s Reverse Mortgage, you do not sell your home. Your home remains your

property, with full title and ownership.

Better yet, you can continue to live in the home in which you’ve raised your family and still

enjoy your neighbors and friends. It’s the best of both worlds—monthly income and the comfort

of living in your home.

[Insert box: testimonial]

Guarantee #4: You can live in your home as long as you wish, since you

remain the owner.

The beauty of this plan is that you can enjoy financial security and the great life without

moving from your home. You’ve built up a lifetime of memories in your home. And now, you

can add to these memories with friends, neighbors and family…all with the financial

independence you’ll gain with AAG’s Reverse Mortgage.

Now, that’s peace of mind.

Guarantee #5: You can sell your home whenever you wish... buy your dream

home... downsize... or get a second home... It’s your choice.

Do all the things you’ve always dreamed of doing

As a homeowners who may qualify for AAG’s Reverse Mortgage, what would you do with

your new found wealth?

How a Reverse Mortgage can help you boost your Social Security benefits

As you may know, the longer you postpone taking benefits from Social Security, the more

money you receive each month.

A Reverse Mortgage can help make this happen by providing you with monthly tax-free*

“income”—possibly helping you delay taking your Social Security benefits.

Take a look at the chart below for an example of how delaying your Social Security benefit

can put significantly more money in your pocket down the road.

[6 Surprising Strategies Sidebar]

Turning Your Retirement into a Dream: 6 Surprising

Strategies You Can Use Now

You’ve worked hard your whole life to build your retirement nest egg. However, for many,

it might not be enough.

Some are forced into living a pressure-filled, cash-short retirement, because they don’t have

the money to pay bills or do the things they would like to do.

But a reverse mortgage gives you the cash you need to live well and enjoy your retirement.

Many financial advisers recommend one of the smartest strategies is to take advantage of a

government-insured reverse mortgage. You simply convert a portion of your home’s equity into

ready cash to supplement your existing retirement accounts, pensions, and social security.

It’s kind of like your house is paying you back for all the years you’ve paid for it.

Here are 6 surprising strategies you should consider, so you can get started turning your

retirement into a dream:

Strategy #1: Avoid or minimize using your 401k, pensions, or retirement

savings

A reverse mortgage gives you the cash you need to fund your retirement - without having to

touch your savings or investments. This allows your assets to grow over the long run, leaving

you with an even bigger portfolio 10 or 20 years from now - instead of using all your money up

now.

Strategy #2: Emergency funds for the unexpected

With your reverse mortgage, you will have access to your extra money whenever you need

it - 24 hours a day. You will be able to pay for elective medical procedures, fix a roof, pay for a

new car - anything. You will have peace of mind that you will be able to pay for any unforeseen

emergencies.

Strategy #3: Cash for special trips and events

You could travel to places you always dreamed of... maybe go to Disneyland, or take that

cruise you’ve always talked about. Your reverse mortgage would allow you to go visit your

Page 18: SPECIAL ISSUE ON REVERSE MORTGAGES Secure ......A Reverse Mortgage is a unique source of monthly tax-free* “income” for life. It’s a mortgage, based on your home’s value, that

C:¥Users¥user¥Desktop¥CDMG Portfolio¥AAG¥AAG8203_ML_RC2_082715_BJP.doc

Page 18 of 37

grandchildren whenever you want, and you will have the cash for air travel. Plus, you will be

able to book a hotel without worrying about how to pay for it.

Strategy #4: Money for the things you want

With a reverse mortgage, you could finally purchase some of those extra things you’ve

always wanted. For example, you could buy that camper, dine out with friends whenever you

want, or go to a play or movie theater. You could even give nicer birthday presents to your

family and friends...

Strategy #5: Pay off your mortgage, taxes or other large expenses

A reverse mortgage gives you the freedom to pay off large expenses or other debts you may

be worried about. You could catch up on taxes you owe, pay off credit cards, or make home

improvements you’ve been putting off. And most importantly, you will never have to pay

another mortgage payment for the rest of your life!

Strategy #6: You could double your social security income

[insert chart on page 7 of the “Reverse mortgage retirement

planner”]

If you delay your social security payments from 62 to 63... or 64 to 65... or even until 70...

you’ll get a lot more each month for social security.

A reverse mortgage may give you the ability to delay your social security... and double your

lifetime social security benefits.

For example, if you are 62-years old, you are eligible to start receiving your lifetime social

security benefit of $1,016 per month... But if you use this strategy and delay your social security

benefits until age 70, you would receive $1,789.00 a month for life... almost double what you

How to Use a Reverse Mortgage to Buy Your Dream House

or Second Home

If you and your spouse have been thinking about downsizing your home and moving into a

new dream home, then a reverse mortgage could be the perfect strategy for you...

... Or, maybe with the extra money you can get from a reverse mortgage, you could move to

a place with better weather, get that condo by the lake or the ocean, or even move closer to the

kids and grandchildren.

With a reverse mortgage, you’ll have instant access to the extra money you need to live a

more comfortable, worry-free retirement in the place you want... and you will eliminate your

current mortgage payments forever.

Here’s how you can buy your dream house or 2nd home with a reverse mortgage:

First, you sell your current home and put the money aside as your look for your new home.

When you find the new house you want to buy, you can use a portion of the money from your

last house as a down payment on your new house.

Next, you can use a reverse mortgage to finance the rest of your new home, and keep the

rest of the money from your previous home.

[insert graphics from page 12 and 13 of the red ‘Your Guide to

Reverse Mortgages’]

For example:

Step One: You sell your existing home for $500,000.

Step Two: You find a NEW home for $350,000

Step Three: Use $200,000 as a down payment.

Step Four: Use $150,000 HECM to complete purchase

And you still have $300,000 at your disposal and no monthly mortgage payments.

Here are some benefits of using your reverse mortgage to buy a new home:

Right-size to a single-story or lower maintenance home

your life.

[3 Common Myths Sidebar]

3 Common Myths About Reverse Mortgages

Myth #1: I will lose my home ownership...

NOT TRUE! You Remain the Homeowner!

How does the process work?

A reverse mortgage loan allows you to turn some of the equity in your home into cash.

You will continue to live in your home, and yes... you retain ownership. Plus, you and will

not be required to make any more monthly mortgage payments.

Instead of repaying the loan monthly, the loan balance is repaid when all borrowers have left

the home. You will be required to pay for property taxes, home insurance and home

maintenance.

Does the bank own my home? No. You own your home. You have the title. You are just

borrowing against the value of the home.

All these details and applications can be found in your FREE, no-obligation Reverse

Mortgage Information Kit.

Myth #2: The Fees are Too High...

NOT TRUE! Your Reverse Mortgage Costs are Regulated and Insured by HUD...

You may be surprised to hear that today’s reverse mortgage has a variety of options.

You may qualify for lower costs, and now there are many additional consumer protections

in place to provide you and your family more confidence for your retirement security...

... and your origination fees are regulated by HUD, so you can be sure you are not being

overcharged.

Myth #3: There is Too Much Personal Information Required

NOT TRUE! You Only Submit Your Basic Contact Information...

You need something that’s quick and easy to understand, and you don’t want to get involved

in time-consuming paperwork.

That’s why we make everything as simple as possible for you. You just fill out your name,

e-mail, and telephone number. You will get all of your questions answered without wasting your

If you’re a retired homeowner, you don’t have many options

to get the money you need

Go back to work… You can rejoin the workforce, and give up some of your retirement dreams.

Sell your home and move to small apartment… You must move, and give up the comfort of the home you’ve lived in for years.

Typical home equity loan… You must show proof of income to quality for a loan and make monthly payments

Borrow from the children… Even if they have the money, this may cause a strain in your relationships.

Tap further into life savings… With economic uncertainty, you may run out of money.

Reverse Mortgage … Regular tax-free* “income,” no monthly payments, you continue to own and live in your home.

[FAQ sidebar -- This will need to be trimmed down considerably]

xx answers to questions most folks ask about Reverse Mortgage

When homeowners age 62 and older want to find out more about AAG’s unique Reverse

Mortgage, here are some of the questions they most frequently ask.

Q. Why should I select your Reverse Mortgage rather than a typical home equity loan

or second mortgage?

A: The main reason is that AAG’s Reverse Mortgage is much safer. Remember, traditional

home equity credit lines and other forms of second mortgages require immediate payments to the

bank. If borrowers miss payments, they could lose their homes. AAG’s Reverse Mortgage is

totally different. You have no repayment obligation as long as you live in your home. Your loan

is paid off, either by you or your estate, when you leave your home.

Q. Will the lender, in this case AAG, ever take ownership of my home?

A. No, you keep title and full ownership of your home.

Q. I own my house, but I still owe on the mortgage. Can I still qualify?

A. Yes. However, all existing debt on your home must be paid off first. AAG can provide

you a lump sum advance to help you do just that.

Q. My home is now worth about $200,000, but I don’t need as much monthly income as

that would provide. Can I sign up and apply only part of my home’s value, say $100,000?

A. Yes. You decide how much of your home’s value you want to apply towards the plan, as

long as it’s more than $75,000.

Q. How is the amount of the monthly advance determined?

A. It is based on the current market value of your home and your age. Your specific

situation can be evaluated by an AAG representative at a special meeting in your home.

Q. Do I still have to pay a mortgage payment when I qualify?

A. No! You could never pay a mortgage payment again. But there are a few obligations

you’ll still have. Well tell you what they are.

Q. Will a Reverse Mortgage affect my Social Security, Medicare or pension benefits?

A. No, these benefits are not impacted. Reverse Mortgage funds are considered loan

proceeds and not income. However, Medicaid and other income-based benefits* may possibly be

Page 29: SPECIAL ISSUE ON REVERSE MORTGAGES Secure ......A Reverse Mortgage is a unique source of monthly tax-free* “income” for life. It’s a mortgage, based on your home’s value, that

C:¥Users¥user¥Desktop¥CDMG Portfolio¥AAG¥AAG8203_ML_RC2_082715_BJP.doc

Page 29 of 37

affected.

One big benefit of taking a Reverse Mortgage is that it may make it possible for you to wait

longer to access Social Security benefits. The longer you wait, the more you may receive. This is

likely to boost your lifetime retirement income.

Q. What if my credit score isn’t quite up to snuff?

A. This shouldn’t be a problem.

Q. Will the bank own my home or can my heirs inherit it?

A. No. Reverse Mortgage borrowers retain ownership of their homes. You are not

relinquishing title or ownership. You are simply borrowing against the equity you’ve built up in

your home. A borrower may not lose their home under normal circumstances, as long as they

comply with loan terms.

Any equity in your home that is left over after you leave the home and pay back the loan

belongs to you or your heirs.

Q. What steps do I need to take to apply for a Reverse Mortgage?

A. It’s surprisingly simple. Step One: Call AAG at 1-855-224-3520 and speak with one of

our loan consultants. Step two: Go through government mandated counseling on the pros and

cons of taking a HECM. Step three: Submit your application. Step four: Processing and approval.

Step five: Closing.

Q. If I never make a payment, how is the loan paid back?

A. The loan is paid back after you leave the home and it is sold. I you or your heirs wish to

keep the home after you’ve stopped living in it, you can use a conventional mortgage to pay back

the loan.

Q. Is a Reverse Mortgage insured?

A. Yes, by the U.S. government’s Federal Housing Administration’s (FHA).

Q. Exactly what is a Reverse Mortgage?

A. We’ll tell all you want to know on page three of A Guide to Reverse Mortgages

Q. How much money might I get?

A. You’ll get the answer on page five.

Q. What if the loan amount ends up more than the value of the home? Who will be

responsible for the loan?

A. Reverse Mortgages are non-recourse loans. This means that if the loan balance somehow

Page 30: SPECIAL ISSUE ON REVERSE MORTGAGES Secure ......A Reverse Mortgage is a unique source of monthly tax-free* “income” for life. It’s a mortgage, based on your home’s value, that

C:¥Users¥user¥Desktop¥CDMG Portfolio¥AAG¥AAG8203_ML_RC2_082715_BJP.doc

Page 30 of 37

ends up surpassing the value of the home, the lender cannot collect more than the value of the

home. Under the HECM program, the difference between the loan balance and the home value is

covered by the Federal Housing Administration’s (FHA) insurance fund.

Q. What happens to the family home?

A. Borrowers may leave the home to loved ones as they wish, and heirs may still choose to

sell or keep it after repaying the loan. Any remaining equity goes to the borrower or the

borrower’s estate.

Q. Can I lose my home?

A. No, as long as you continue to pay your taxes and insurance and to maintain the home.

Q. What happens if my spouse is under 62?

A. The only age requirement is that the borrower be 62 or older. If your spouse is under age

62, they can continue to live in the home for as long as they wish.

Fred Thompson Touts the many advantages of AAG’s Reverse

Mortgages

Former U.S. Senator and presidential candidate Fred Thompson is a longtime proponent of

Reverse Mortgages. He’s also a spokesman for the nation’s #1 Reverse Mortgage lender,

American Advisor’s Group (AAG).

Senator Thompson calls Reverse Mortgages a “safe, effective, financial tool that allows

retirees to make the most of their retirement by turning their own equity into tax-free cash —

without any monthly mortgage payments. It’s money that you can use for anything, like paying

off some bills.”

He also points to how they allow retirees to get the money they need to live well, while still

being able to stay in their own home when finances get tight.

To learn more about the many benefits of a Reverse Mortgage, Senator Thompson

recommends that potential borrowers get a FREE, no-obligation copy of American Advisor

Group’s Information Kit, which includes three special reports and a DVD. See page xx to claim

Convert a portion of your home equity into tax-free money

A reverse mortgage loan allows you to turn some of the equity in your home into cash to

improve your lifestyle in whatever way you choose. You will continue to live in your home,

retain ownership and will not be required to make any monthly mortgage payments during the

loan period. Instead of repaying the loan monthly, the loan balance is repaid when all borrowers

have left the home. You will be required to pay for property taxes, home insurance and home

maintenance.

You’ll have the flexibility to choose from one or more of these loan disbursement options:
