    Helpful and unbiased

    I bought this book for my mother, and although I had to go through it with her, it made the whole concept of reverse mortgages so much easier for both of us to understand. i thought i had done my homework, but this book cleared up some misconceptions i had, and taught me a lot about the loan and it's pros and cons without trying to sell me on getting one. It's definitely the best source on the subject that i've found yet.
