Episode Description from the Publisher

In this episode of The Cashflow Chronicles, I sit down with reverse mortgage expert Harlan Accola to challenge many of the common beliefs surrounding home equity, paying off your mortgage, and retirement planning.Harlan explains how a properly structured reverse mortgage may help eligible homeowners eliminate required monthly mortgage payments, access home equity, create additional retirement cash flow, support Roth conversions, prepare for long-term care expenses, and preserve more of their investment assets.We also discuss why Harlan believes cash value life insurance, annuities, and reverse mortgages can work together as important retirement tools. He shares how redirecting money away from aggressively paying down his mortgage helped him build more liquidity, protection, and control for himself and his family.This conversation breaks down how reverse mortgages actually work, why they developed such a negative reputation, who may qualify, and why even financially successful homeowners should consider whether the equity trapped inside their homes could be used more efficiently.If you want to connect with Harlen I've attached his contact information belowPhone: 715-207-9991Email: Harlan.accola@movement.comWebsite: www.movement.comLearn How to OutPrint the Fed by earning 1% a week compounded ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠(Learn More)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Order A Copy of my New Book: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠From Regular To Rich ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📞 Book a Free Call To Discuss LSO ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠(Here)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📞 Book a Free IBC Consultation Call ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠(Here)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📺 If you’re ready to learn more watch our full⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Save & Spend System Overview ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you'd like more information on how you too can start the journey of Becoming Your Own Banker, or you have questions and you'd like to chat, feel free to visit our website & book a Free Consultation now!🌐 Website: https://legacylifeandretirement.comWatch my whole Infinite Banking Playlist ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠(Here)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📥 Download the FREE Legacy Builder Outline ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠(Here)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📲 ⁠⁠⁠⁠Download the FREE Budget Template ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠(Here)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📚 Purchase a copy of Becoming Your Own Banker ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠(Here)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠All Social Media & Podcast Links ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠(Here)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📧 Email Shawn@Legacylifeandretirement.com
