With a quality provider of the Checkbook IRA model, however, you actually will have meaningful access to guidance.

You're still choosing to pay or your own money when you transfer it from your bank (free) to the equity (cost to extract).How/when are you getting an extra 150 in "hypothetical" cash flow?

The big question is how much is owed since the reverse mortgage is designed to extract equity from the property over time.

It's not an investment.2 ex-homes and my current home say otherwise:Appreciated over $600KAppreciated about $500K and cash flowing very nicelyAppreciated about $300K and still living in it.Note: Each of them have had money extracted and re-invested so that the returns from these gains far exceeds the gains alone.I agree that if your home in a tradition zero appreciation market (implying appreciation is not historically greater than inflation) then your home is likely not an investment (you still get equity paydown and someone else is not cash flowing off of your rent). 

I share the views of  @Elizabeth Colegrove , @Heather Jones , @J Scott and the views of Grant Cardone >Here's an extraction of the transcript about what Grant Cardone has to say about business plan.

If maintained properly, you'll be able to generate all kinds of meaningful reports at the click of a button. 

I will state that I believe it is very challenging using this approach that if you paid market value to be able to extract all of the investment. 

And once every one starts doing it, you as the investor no longer has any meaningful advantage. 

Now its time to hopefully give back in a meaningful way. 

I am a firm believer that making personal meaningful connections is the way to go!
