Thinking about a reverse mortgage?

There was an interesting article in today's Toronto Sun about reverse mortgage. Click here to read the complete article.

They've been around for a long time in several other countries including England and are just now starting to raise their profile here.

My thoughts on them? At this point, I would consider one only as a last resort. There are high set-up fees and the interest rates are higher than mortgage rates. I would talk to my lender *and* my lawyer for other possible alternatives before going down this path.
