Using A Reverse Mortgage as an Asset Preservation Strategy - Terry Bowser and Dan Diaddigo

00:00 /

Terry Bowser was born and raised in southwest Pennsylvania. After earning a degree from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Terry was vacationing in Myrtle Beach, fell in love with the south, and never went back north. He’s now been in Atlanta for 30 years. Today, Terry is a Reverse Mortgage Advisor for CBC National Bank. Joining Terrry in the studio this morning is Dan Diaddigo, Director SI – Group Mortgage Banking. Dan moved to the Atlanta area when he was 10, and earned a degree in Broadcast News from the University of Georgia. Very quickly Dan migrated to the mortgage industry, and has worked in the industry ever since.

Terry notes that the reverse mortgage loan is a very safe, payment-free way to access the equity in your home. He also notes that it is a non-recourse loan that will allow a borrower to live in the home for as long as he or she lives. An interesting side-note is that a reverse mortgage may not necessarily be used for living expenses or healthcare expenses, but could alternative be used as an asset preservation technique.

BonusRuum - Check out this Innovative Approach to Adding Space for an Aging Parent!

00:00 /

Kennesaw native Chet Tischer began his career in real estate at the age of 14! It started with Chet cutting a homebuilder neighbor’s lawn. From there, he began doing odd jobs for the builder, and he never really stopped building homes.

After 25 years as a homebuilder, Chet, like many others found himself having to reinvent his business as the market for new homes evaporated a few years ago. One day he was sitting around with his wife ruminating about the necessity of adding space to accommodate an aging parent. Chet was already aware of the growing need for multi-generational living spaces. Skeptical, at first, Chet set about creating the most complex senior living space he could imagine. After many iterations, he has created a patented, modular, affordable and accessible living space for seniors or disabled adults that can be installed in a few hours inside a garage, or attached to any existing exterior doorway of your home. These spaces come furnished with electrical and water hook-ups, heating, air conditioning and even high tech medical monitoring devices. Chet’s brainchild is being made available through his company, BonusRuum.

Check out this fascinating interview, and look for an on-site broadcast some time in April, when BonusRuum will open up a warehouse in Marietta that will have a model room available for touring! In the mean time, if you are interested in more information, check out their website at www.bonusruum.com, or call their offices at (770) 480-5676.

Craig Smith, Owner of Vest Properties

As the weather starts to heat up, Craig and Carol Smith, Owners of Vest Properties, are hoping for indoor remodeling jobs! Craig has always been around the construction industry. His father was a general contractor, and one of the first to specialize in insurance repair. Craig spent his summers working these construction jobs. Having been born & raised in DeKalb County, he has spent 35 years in construction in Atlanta.

Craig earned his Bachelors Degree in Architectural Engineering Technology from Southern Tech in Marietta. Upon graduation, he joined his father in business on a full-time basis. In addition to the insurance work, they also started doing remodeling. After the birth of their daughter, Craig and Carol wanted for Carol to be able to work from home. To do this, they started Vest properties.

A few years ago, the National Association of HomeBuilders (NAHB) offered a program called Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS). This program intrigued Craig and Carol, as they had already observed that the majority of their customers were over 55. Serving the home improvement needs of Atlanta’s aging population has become a very significant part of their business.
