Alternatively, your reverse mortgage distributions are not taxable as income. This allows your current retirement assets to grow with re-investment rather than distribution until the mandatory distribution guidelines kick in.
In these times of rising inflation and a Turbulent equity market, use your Reverse Mortgage irrevocable Nontaxable Line of Credit to allow your assets to Rest and Grow.
When you sell your $1,000,000 home and pay off a modest $200,000 mortgage and closing cost you net about $750,000 before tax considerations.

You must pay real estate taxes and homeowners ins. As you do now.
With a reverse mortgage you can delay the social security benefit start date until the maximum payout date. Use your reverse mortgage tax free distributions until you want to start up the social security for optimum benefits.
