Category: Red, White & Secure Reverse Mortgages
Red, White & Secure™ is an initiative of Operation T.A.G.™ (Tangible Act of Gratitude) created to help eligible veterans and military families explore ways to make retirement and aging in place more financially secure.
Through participating licensed lending partners, eligible homeowners may receive up to $6,000 in savings on eligible reverse mortgage costs—a tangible way of recognizing the service and sacrifice of America’s military families.
This section of the blog provides education, news and resources about HECM reverse mortgages, retirement planning, home equity and aging in place, with a special focus on issues affecting veterans and military families.
Our purpose is simple: help military families understand their options, ask better questions and connect with appropriately licensed professionals when specialized assistance is needed.
Because gratitude shouldn’t end when military service does.
Operation T.A.G.™ is a nonprofit organization, not a lender. Reverse mortgage eligibility, rates, terms, costs and lending services are provided by appropriately licensed lending partners. Program requirements and restrictions apply.
