The disaffected middle-class Americans brought in the buzz of the “occupy wall street movement”, who took to the streets of New York and air their protest about the state of the economy. College kids who feel they have lost their future because of rising education costs, adult children of middle-aged parents who lost their homes to the banks, and many thirty-something individuals who lost their homes and jobs at the same time, the protesters came in various forms.   When the housing bubble burst in 2007-2008, thousands of homeowners across the country lost their homes, and basically their lives as they are left homeless in an economy that is unsteady to offer financial support and job stability. On the positive side, disenchanted middle-aged Americans can find financial relief by considering a remortgage on their homes before taking on bank loans or credit card advances and incurring huge interests to meet current financial needs. Administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), is available only to 62-year old and older senior citizens who would like to apply and access a portion of their home equity, this form of loan called reverse mortgage. Reverse mortgage allows senior homeowners to draw from the equity of their homes, paid to them in lump-sum, monthly payments and other terms dictated by the homeowners. Homeowners do not need to make monthly payments like a regular loan or a second mortgage is what makes this loan unique for as long as they remain in their homes, continue paying property taxes, insurance, and general upkeep of their homes. From reverse mortgage, there are two types of businesses that sprung one who service the applicants and generate information, and the other buys the information or the reverse mortgage leads from them.
