The newest WillowBrook Christian Commu-nity, Willow Brook atDelaware Run, celebratedits grand opening on thewestern edge of Delawarejust a few days ago.

At the event, membersof the board of trustees andthe chamber of commerceand the mayor of Delawareused their scissors to cut an84-foot-long ribbon thatsurrounded the VillageSquare’s mezzanine.

The 400- plus visitorsthen spread across the$14,000,000 building’sapartments, gathering areasand health care center tosample delicacies providedby the village chefs in

An Upper Arlingtoncouple wasn’t looking toget out from under a bur-densome mortgage or gainmore income. In fact, thecouple was financiallycomfortable and fairlycertain they would be intheir home for the rest oftheir lives. In their 70s,they simply were seekingasset protection and insur-ance against whatever thefuture might bring. Theywanted their largestinvestment to pay offwhile they were stillaround to enjoy the bene-fits.

“We wanted to get asmuch out of the house aswe could while we werealive,” said the husband.

As a ministerial servantfor his church, the hus-band had helped fellowparishioners in financialtrouble to use a reversemortgage.

“For the people I’ve putonto it — it’s a life saver,”he said. After researchingthe option for years onbehalf of others, hedecided it made sense forhis own family. “It really isan excellent tool.”

“Reverse mortgagesallow homeowners age 62

and older to convert partof their home’s equity intoincome without having tosell their home, give uptitle, or incur a newmonthly payment,” saidTina Vogel Kuba, a reversemortgage expert at Mort-gage Corp. of Ohio.

A reverse mortgage canprovide cash flow to recip-ients in retirement foritems such as health care,home maintenance orincreased cost of living.Repayment is not neces-sary until the borrowersells the property, movesinto a retirement commu-nity or passes away.

“You just don’t knowwhat’s coming down theroad,” the husband said.

To educate the publicabout reverse mortgages,Kuba will conduct a freeseminar on Oct. 28, 2:30p.m., at the Dublin PublicLibrary at 75 N. High St.

For an individual con-sultation, contact Kuba at614-761-1200 or 800-589-1355. Please visitMortgageCorpofOhio.comto try the reverse mortgagecalculator.

When youwereyounger,you proba-bly listenedto yourmusic asloud as youcouldbecause itwas cool.

Now, asyou’re get-ting older,you mayfind yourselfturning upthe volumeagain. But now it’s becauseyour hearing may not bewhat it used to be.
