Statewide Bancorp Now Offers a Mortgage that Provides Financial Security for Seniors

Rancho Cucamonga, CA (PRWEB) August 29, 2007 -- Homeowners in their golden years will soon have relief from rising expenses, and it's coming from a familiar source: their homes.

Statewide Bancorp announced this week it will offer reverse mortgages, which allow homeowners age 62 and up to convert part of their home equity into tax-free income. Payouts can come as a lump sum, a monthly income, a line of credit, or a combination of all three.

"Rising energy costs, rising healthcare costs, and taxes are making it difficult for Seniors to enjoy their golden years," says Statewide Bancorp's COO Alex Diaz, Jr. "Reverse mortgages provide a much-needed financial flexibility."

The homeowner will never have to make a payment as long as they occupy the home, which is why many borrowers are using reverse mortgages, even for purchasing a home. Statewide now offers these mortgages with loans up to 6 million dollars.

The new product can also help eligible homeowners generate cash for home improvements, travel and other out-of-pocket expenses.

"Social security and pensions just don't go far enough any more," explains Diaz. "This is a chance for Statewide Bancorp to help many homeowners supplement their income."

More than 300,000 seniors have tapped reverse mortgages nationwide, according to a report from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

In contrast to traditional "forward mortgages," lenders make payments to borrowers during the term of the loan.

"Reverse mortgages are a modern day fountain of youth," says Diaz. "It allows homeowners a chance to actually enjoy their retirement."

Baby boomers are among the key players in the reverse mortgage market as they seek new ways to finance quality care for elderly parents.

In a tough housing market, tapping a home's equity with a reverse mortgage offers an alternative to selling the family home due to financial difficulties.

Borrowers who still owe money on a first mortgage are eligible for the program in most cases, depending on their home's current value and the outstanding balance on their original loan.

Before being approved for a reverse mortgage, homeowners must first meet with an independent counselor from a government-approved housing counseling agency. The counselor will explain the pros, cons and implications of a reverse mortgage.

Depreciation reporting in accounting
In an accountant's reporting systems, depreciation of a business's fixed assets such as its buildings, equipment, computers, etc. is not recorded as a cash outlay. When an accountant measures profit on the accrual basis of accounting, he or she counts depreciation as an expense. Buildings, machinery, tools, vehicles and furniture all have a limited useful life. All fixed assets, except for actual land, have a limited lifetime of usefulness to a business. Depreciation is the method of accounting that allocates the total cost of fixed assets to each year of their use in helping the business generate revenue.
